The Daily Fail should know all about that particular word, after all Paul Dacre is rumoured to be the biggest cut going.

If they're so offended by it, why do they print it? I disagree with the sentiment, but it's a funny gag and if you understand it, you can't be offended by it as you obviously know the word and what it means.

It's even better that the word wasn't even broadcast on the News Quiz. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Also if you consider that it was a woman who mentioned it as well. I suspect that is Sandi Toksvig had been offended she would not have said it for the mics. Radio 4 is hardly the choice of radio for your average child listener.  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

I thought kids still learned about Cnut in school history lessons?

No. Not this time. Paxman and Simpson dropped the c-bomb though, much to everyone’s amusement. I think they were talking about a Tory too.
