Whatever can the S** mean?

Sometimes a newspaper's use of asterisks over apparently naughty words can do more harm than good. Take today's Sun, and a special "Reality TV Biz" pullout in which the paper's TV editor Sara Nathan makes the most of her exclusive interview with Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli, who "took his gloves off to rap the show's stars". The second paragraph reports that he thinks Kate Garraway has been a "disaster" - fair enough - and dancer Brendan Cole "should 's****' anything that moves". S**** - er... What could that mean? Shaft? Shame? Or is this simply a case of printing one asterisk too many, from a paper that happily gives it readers a politically-aware young lady showing her t*ts almost every day.
