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.

Rememberthose clear plastic 'space guns' you used to get with a thing inside that sparked when you pulled the trigger? My mum told me that real astronauts used them on the moon as some sort of bizarre propulsion system.
She also used to insist that eating sugar cubes would give you worms.
