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.

Och Aye.On a trip to Scotland when very young my parents told me that a Haggis was a furry creature that lived on the mountains. According to them, the Haggis spent most of it's time running in circles around the top of the mountain, with the evolutionary result that it had one leg shorter than the other.
I believed that until a quite embarassingly advanced age.
