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.

BoysWell i don't know, even today, what the men who used to go around collecting old fridges/freezers/scrap metal etc shouted from their truck as they drove around the streets. But when i was a child it seemed every weekend they would come along, and my Dad told my younger brother that they were shouting 'any little boys' So without fail, everytime they came, my brother would run inside screaming his head off.
