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.

Get the fuckers backI have a charming 'reverse pisstake story'. When I was about 10 I had one of those radios that nerdies use to listen to conversations between pilots and air traffic control. We lived near Manchester Airport, so one night I waited until my gran was on her own, tuned the radio into the right frequency and told her that there had been a disaster at the control tower and she had to talk the planes in to land.
I left the room, leaving her struggling with oncoming hysteria and trying to talk to the pilot of an incoming 747.
