Interesting. The word tops the list of naughty words the BBC has as it causes the most complaints. Me, I like to point out that Chaucer used it in Canterbury Tales, but was a bit undecided about the spelling.

Used a few times on 'Episodes', BBC2 10pm last night (comedy), which I did find somewhat surprising.

I often feel compelled to blurt out things that I know I shouldn't. I was in a taxi on High Street Ken once with a black mate when we came upon a set of coned-off roadworks. I said to him - look at all those cones in the road. Except I didn't say cones.

It's like when you're cycling along and you see a brick in the road a long way ahead but no matter how you try to wibble and wobble around it always seem to end up riding over it.

I wouldn't have attended the meeting, but I would like to have been passing by some years ago when the National Front candidate was introduced by one of these involuntary spoonerisers... it was reported in Private Eye.
