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.

brussel sproutsMy mum told us that sprouts were just mini cabbages, from the inside of a normal cabbage. I always felt that it was such a waste to remove all that outter packaging just to get a sprout. Now I know better as the supermarkets let you buy them on branches (or whatever the correct term is...) Ignorance is bliss
