Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

RonNot really a lie, but my dad used to be fond of saving things (food for instance) "for Ron". We actually knew someone called Ron at the time and I was like, "is Uncle Ron coming around?" Eventually my dad witheringly explained "it's for LATE-R-ON". Bastard.
He also once told me "Did you know gullible isn't in the dictionary?" I didn't believe him... but I did the next best thing, which was to leap up, grab a dictionary, and yell indignantly "Yes it is, look!!!"
