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.

Not actually told to me...... but what the hell. I was walking around Thetford a year or so ago, and I saw a three-or-four-year-old girl jumping into puddles, as kids do. Her mum was upset by this, as mums usually are.
"DON'T JUMP INTO PUDDLES!" she screeched, "YOUR FEET'LL GET WET AND THEY'LL FALL OFF! DO YOU WANT YOUR FEET TO FALL OFF!?"
Fast forward five months later to a hypothetical trip to Great Yarmouth.
"Go on! Go for a paddle! Just effing leave me alone and go for a paddle!"
