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.

A lie and a comeback :-)When I was younger, we were driving through the Kerry (county in southern Ireland) countryside when I saw a herd of cows grazing on a steep hill.
My dad remarked that they could walk easily on the hill as they had two legs shorter on one side than on the other.
Slightly confused I asked him "what happens when they turn around?"
He didn't have an answer. Hehe :-)
