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.

Whenever we drove though the countryand the farmers had manured the fields, my Mum would tell me to "Sniff it up...it's good for you". I can't remember the age I was when I finally worked out that choking down lung fulls of shit-fumes had no immediate health benefits.
There's a load of these here by the way.
