Gone are the days when the BBC used to use simple words in clear received pronunciation, since it had to appeal to all classes. Now there is no class system any more (ahem) it seems they allow the ranting idiots to blather stupidity all over the place. I am no great lover of Jeremy Paxman, but he uses some pretty stupid words that even when you know the meaning does not necessarily mean you can understand the sentence.
For the lower class morons among us:
- Fawning: (verb) means to gain favour though flattery.
- Doggerel: (noun) means a comic verse of irregular measure.
Any clearer?
Fuck off Paxman.
