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.

This is a hereditary lie......as it was told to me by my mom who was told it by her mom, probably going as far back as the primordial soup... if you swallow chewing gum it will wrap around your heart and you will die. Once I swallowed some by accident and spent an hour sobbing like a baby (well I was 7) with my hand clasped over my chest to make sure my heart was still beating.
