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.

Lies.damn lies.My wife comes from Yorkshire and there is indeed a biscuit called a nig nog.if you look at the word objectively it is just a nonsense word like tip top or kit kat or indeed hob nob.I dont believe it is a racist term(in this context anyway)PC is fine,but if it interferes with innocence and history then it is counter-productive.
