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.

what my dad told his wee brothermy dad's 11 years older than his wee brother.
in their youth, there was an old man that went round the houses asking "any empty bottles please madam?"
my dad told my uncle that he was asking "any naughty boys please madam?" so whenever my uncle heard the bottle-man coming he'd freak right out cuz he was a little ratbag!
(he broke my dad's arm twice: once by jumping on him from the top of a flight of stairs, the other time just after my pop got the cast off, my uncle karate chopped his arm...!)
