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 Your Parents Told You...and I once obsereved a baby in a stroller asking mum for 'lol-lol' (lollies), and the mum promising some when they got home if bubba was well-behaved. Nothing amiss there, until the mum turned to me, winked and said "I've only ever given him dry crackers, and just told him that's what a lolly is." ...That's right up there with saying the world outside the garden is full of poison gas....
