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.

My dad is so weird...he once told me that all the ladies in red dresses in that RobertPalmer (Addicted to Love) video were all men dressed as women. I believed him! and for years any time that video came on I would say "you know those women are actually men?" and look all smug with myself for knowing something other ppl didn't know.
Another funny thing my Dad did - when my parents first got married (30years ago) he wanted to bring my Mam to the GreyHound Racing for the evening, for the laugh like, she had never been before, so on the way there she asks "How do they get the dogs to race one another?" and my dad replied "Just like in horse racing, except the jocky is a small monkey."
Of course, she believed him.
