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 remembered another one.The mention of Angel Delight reminded me..
I used to love the stuff, and I used to use the table spoon to eat with (Yes, I had a big mouth).
So when my Mum was mixing up a jug, I knowingly asked 'What's that Mum?'.
My oh so loving Mummy replied 'Angel Delight, do you want some?' while smiling and handing me my spoon.
I was three.
I got a great big spoonful.
It was cornflour and water - my Mum was making gravy.
I stayed off the Delight for a good while.
