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.

Secret BunkerThere are a set of public steps that run up the hill beside our house, and at the top there is a traditional manhole.
My brother and friend managed to convince me that it was the main entrance to their secret den.
"But I can hear water running below it."
-That's a tape recorder, so no one finds out.
"But I looked through the gap with a torch and can't see anything"
-That's because we stretched bin liners over the top to keep it all dry.
"COOL. Can I go in?"
-No.
And I never did.
