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.

I have always hated mushrooms with a passion.So one time I was with my dad, somewhere in London. (I don't know why, but he bought me to work with him a couple of times when I was about ten.) He bought me something for lunch.
It was round, grey/black/brownish with an odd texture. I asked what it was, he said it was a spider with it's head and legs cut off.
I (completely ungrossed by what I heard it was) ate it, and quite liked it.
I was about to ask for another when he told me it was actually a mushroom. That's when my first incident of induced vomiting occurred. :)
