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.

One more for the road...This isn't a lie anyone told me, but it was my own little made-up theory. One time my mom told me that we were having "city chicken" for dinner, so I automatically concluded that it meant we would be eating pigeons.
A while laterr, I was with my Aunt and she too mentioned city chicken. I told her that she would be eating pigeons and she laughed at me. I refused to believe her when she told me it was really pork.
