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.

ah yes...I agree with workboresme about the teenage drinking thing... especially since in England you can legally drink alcohol given to you by your family from the age of 7 (just not allowed to BUY alcohol or drink IN PUBLIC and it's onyl recently that parents over here stopped sending their noisy lil' tots off to sleep by dipping their dummy in brandy...
