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.

Vegetarian HamI became a vegetarian at the wise old age of 11. My dad used to buy "vegetarian ham" for me when I stayed with him. I even remarked that "it tasted just like real ham". It was only when I was 27 that he pointed out that there was no such thing (well, not back in those days anyway).
