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.

I was ...watching a film once, when I was a young lad and someone in it mentioned a brothel. I asked my Dad what a brothel was and he told me it was a place where they make soup.
Also, when I was really young I used to suck my thumb a lot. When I met one of my distant Uncles for the first time I noticed he only had one thumb. My Mum told me that he used to suck his thumb when he was wee, too, and it had worn down gradually. I finally found out years later he had lost it in an industrial accident.
