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.

There's no place like the pubThere's a pub in Dublin called "The Yellow House", which my fiancee's parents told her was made out of spare bricks from the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz, and thus the name.
She was embarrassed when she realised the truth. When I told her. About 10 years later.
