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.

My girlfriend's familyused to lie to her all the time.
Her dad told her that he used to collect his farts in jars and label them.
He said that he once flew in a plane over the Eiffel Tower and they flew so low that he stuck his bum out the door and scratched it on the top.
Her brother-in-law insisted that he had a plastic knee and then would remain stoic and straight-faced while she smacked him on the knee with the heaviest object she could find.
Her brother used to "swallow" his silver chain and then "regurgitate" it. she'd go mad trying to work out how he'd done it.
