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.

LightningSimilar to Dogtanians and R. Jimlad's
I was always told that thunder & lightning was the little baby Jesus jumping up and down to reach the light switch but not quite reaching. When he flicked the switch that was the lightning and when he landed was the thunder!
I also used to believe that God ws called Harold (in a similar way to Harold from neighbours I suppose) because of the lords prayer... you know
Our Father who art in heaven
Harold be thy name.. etc.
