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 just remembered thisAs most of you probably know cans of Planter's Peanuts have a picture of "Mr. Peanut" (a peanut wearing a top hat, glasses, face, arms and legs) on them. When I was about 3 years old my dad pointed a picture of Mr. Peanut on the can and told me that, they make peanuts by "chopping the arms, legs and face off." It didn't really upset me, but I actually believed this for a few years.
