To me there is a pretty good difference between urban legends and old wives' tales. How many times have you heard old wives' tales that just made you laugh? I know I have heard plenty.

Hiccup remedies make for good old wives tales. Everything from eating a spoonful of sugar to scaring the person to breathing into a brown paper bag. Who knows how these things get started?

I heard tons of ridiculous old wives' tales when I was pregnant. My favorite was "If you lift your hands up over your head, your baby will strangle on the cord." Right.
