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.

Right, I already replied to this one, but after reading these othersI find it worthwhile to note that my parents never broke out the 'ice cream truck's music is on because they're out of ice cream' one. Not only that, I hadn't heard of anyone else whose parents had used it on them until this question.
And everyone being told thunder is God clapping and lightning is God taking pictures... The prevailing story in my home was that lightning was the sky taking flash pictures. God never entered into it. Very strange.
