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.

Not my parents......but a scoutmaster, when I were a lad, several hundred years ago, we were camping in North Wales & we were told that because the stream flowed so quickly over so many rocks, the friction heated the water and made it comfortable for swimming......guess which naive & very gullible young scout dived straight in.
