Today's print edition of the Daily Telegraph carries a story about Australia's opposition leader, Tony Abbott, with this mystifying sentence:
After arriving late for a debate with the shadow health minister, he swore at her, dismissing claims that he could have arrived on time if he had wanted to as "--------".
Irritated by not being able to work out the missing word, I went to the paper's website, which was altogether more informative. Its version read:
After arriving late for a debate with the shadow health minister, he swore at her, dismissing claims that he could have arrived on time if he had wanted to as "bull****".
Thank you, online editor, for clearing that up.
