Something said by a Nanna or Grandmother that is not entirely true. Not a lie, but an exaggeration or an embellishment of the truth.

The process of altering one's rythm and tone of speech to replicate that of Robin Nunnery.
Key features of nunnerisation:
- Stress is placed on the ends of words and long vowel sounds

- Mis-representation of abbreviations is commonplace among nunneric speakers
- Word stresses may be deliberately altered or moved to give the word a specific sound
