pmsl!!!!

<snigger> ... an honest mistake, and partly the fault of Mr. Hunt for having a cockey-rhyming-slang name.

[McMouse]

What a berk

[New2Quizzes]

He never made anything that never made a misteak!

[sandyRoe]

LOL. Hunt the Culture secretary. Asking for a spoonerism. The fact that Naughtie went into a giggling fit makes it even better.

[NazNomad]

Not at all ... an honst Spoonerism, nothing intended by it.

[Mamyalynne]

I am never offended by a slip of the tongue, if it had been a deliberate use of the word well yes, but funny when accidental.

[NazNomad]

They way he emphasised the 'C' made it funnier.

[Ellipsis]

Heard this live, was most amused. At least it was "Jeremy" Hunt and not "Mike" ...

Evan Davis also made a nice little reference to it an hour later, just before 9AM when he said something like "Coming up after the news, Mart The Week with Andrew Star". He's a card, that Evan ...

[sg]

I heard the whole lot -

Ellipsis, I didn't realise that Evan's was a deliberate reference to James' slip, because "Andrew Starr's" certainly wasn't!

Something similar happened to Dermot O'Leary on the X Factor a couple of weeks back.

What he ACTUALLY said was "Good luck hun" (as in 'honey').

However with the noise from the audience etc, it actually sounded more like "Good luck c***t".

He had to go n Twitter to explain later...

[rov1200]

Well he did have a cough!

Sorry bibblebub, didn't see your earlier post.

Grommet

It gets worse.

Later on Andrew Marr was talking about the slip up...and accidentally said it again!!!

[piggynose]

what a silly bunt

[anotheoldgit]

Just as long as it was not intentional, and why you had to add (do not listen if easily offended) I do not know.

Everyone hears the same word and others almost each day on the streets of Britain.

What is interesting however, why is the 'C' word considered much worse than the 'F' word?

aog, where have you been all your adult life? just ask your wife/g´friend/mother or female friend, they´ll soon tell you
