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.

that in his daymy dad used to eat porridge with salt and water instead of milk and sugar. While this may be true, he pushed the credibility of his deception too far when he claimed that it tasted nicer made that way. I spat it out when he made it for me, so he said he'd eat it. He ate only half of it, if that, and I never saw him touch it again.
The same goes for tripe being nice. While we had chips for our dinner one night, he said he'd rather have, and tucked into, a plate of tripe, and only tripe. I've never seen him eat it since that day.
