You don't get it? He said "cunt".

Sounded too much like "hunt" to me. Not clear enough.

He wouldn't be considered for the Ancient Order Of Cunt Callers

Are you serious? The most amusing thing about it is the way he deliberates and then comes in hard on the final word.

I remember one from years ago when the newsreader said "religious cunt" instead of "religious cult."

I am with Bored of the Dance. Sounds like 'hunt' to me.

Favourite moment on 70's regional telly: Bob Hall on ATV Midlands news with his wavering mind as he spoke of 'Aldershit' on the sports news.

But nothing, nothing, as a kid could have prepared me for the time I settled avec famille for this glorious episode of Mork & Mindy, as described by Wikipedia:

To Tell the Truth November 2, 1978

When Mork tricks Mindy into believing that he can predict the weather, Mindy tells him that he should never lie. The music store's despicable landlord, Arnold Wanker, dies while trying to evict Fred from the music store. Mork, hearing the family try to comfort his widow, assumes that that Wanker is their friend, and brings him back from the dead.

Not a verbal faux pas, I admit, but worth just bringing it to someone's attention, anyhow.

Funny old thing, the human ear. I played that once and it sounded like "hunt", no suspicion of a rogue "c". The second time, however, it was an unmistakeable "cunt". I might just have to go for a third decider. Here goes . . .

Hmm, that third one was more like "hcunt". There's no splitting this baby.

I can't believe that people are hearing anything other than "cunt" on that clip.

Leonard Parkin of ITN News once got in trouble when he muttered that "Syrian tanks are farting in the hills".

Twelve replies and nobody's mentioned Trevor McDonald's "Cunt Kentryside" yet?

Of course what you should never say, upon being stopped under suspicion of drinking and driving, is "I haven't had a cunt, dropstable"

I remember on "Runaround" with Mike Reid, while he was doing that "RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrunaround NAH!" bit, a couple of the kids went too early and he shouted "Come back, you wankers"

[Incandenza]

I too heard something closer to "hunt."

It sounded much like 'cunt' to me. No dirty mind inventing the 'cuh' sound. There it was.

[the cantering captain]

He was going to say hunt, but stopped himself in the nick of time and said cunt instead. That's why it comes out as h-CUNT.

Actually, on 2nd listen its more like Hull Cunt, which makes more sense, maybe it was John Prescott doing the seals this year. He also calls that woman Tim, which is in no way a woman's name.

He was meaning to say "seal cull hunt" and fucked it up.

I think some of you boys who are hearing "hunt" need new speakers on your computers. . .
