Jeremy Paxman said a naughty word on television last night. Twitter nearly exploded with giddiness. People used the phrase ‘dropping the F-bomb’, which doesn’t really make sense. Anyway, I bet most Newsnight viewers shrugged at the whole thing as Paxo was quoting from Andrew Rawnsley’s book, The End of the Party, during an interview with the author. You can see the swear in this article in a video if you’re sick of reading words.

Paxo apologised and said: “Apparently I’m told by our editor I have to apologise for quoting what you said the prime minister said, so honour satisfied now.”

Hahaha! Try it once more, with feeling.
