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.

of the reverse piss-take kind
Me mum sometimes didn't quite get the lyrics for songs and was quite upset one day when listening to a Bonny Tyler song ('...I was lost in France, again') on the radio. She complained that it was such a nice tune, but why did she have to sing about '...I was dressed in drag, again'.
I subsequently managed to convince her that the words to YMCA were actually 'Why aren't you gay?'
