Lies Your Parents Told You
I 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.

when I was a youngin'
we lived in Austria and my mom used to scare the cheese out of me by wearing this mask and pretending to be "the man", or, how she used to say it "the Mahn" (long A). I remember being chased around by this person in a white mask and screaming so loud. I didn't know that it was my mom and I really don't know why she did that. I'm probably going to bring up horrible memories of this in therapy down the road.
