And the feature is the banned word list.

And I can't believe that we haven't got a name for the banned word list feature yet.

Maybe you have some ideas.

The first word this episode has never troubled me at all because I've never heard it in my life.

And I'm even now finding it difficult to believe that anyone has ever used it.

But the word means a skirt with shorts underneath.

And the word is squirt.

Which, seriously, I've never, I'm finding it difficult to believe.

I think someone's invented a word just to get it banned.

I don't think anyone's ever said the word squirt in anybody's life, but maybe they have.

They have.

Oh, sorry, Alice Williams, my fabulous producer, she has heard someone say squirt.

It's now been brought to my attention that there is another word, which is a spork.

which is an implement, which is a fork head at one end and a spoon head at the other end.

And that's called a spork.

I don't have any particularly strong feelings about spork, but you may have.

So let me know.

Let me know if you want me to ban spork and you need never hear it again.

This is an expression that somebody wants banned, and it's either yeah, no, or no, yeah.

It's exceedingly irritating, says the person who sent this in, when a speaker responds by starting with either yeah.
