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.

Two things that stick in the back of my throat a littleOne: my parents, the devious swines, always told me that it was against the law for children not to go to school. After I left in 1996, I found that this was patently not the case. Most of my peers were not, as I thought, my classmates; but were in fact helping to bolster Britain's gambling community or alter its crime figures.
Two: whenever, when I was young, there was a reference in Bergerac or Juliet Bravo to the practice of fisting, rimming or feltching, I asked my mum what they meant. Her reply was always "I'll tell you when you're thirty". Now, I won't be 30 until April 2010, but I don't hold out much hope. Frankly, I think I've been had again, and I'd better read up about them in my own time.
