Private Eye's reprint of a BBC memo explaining the proportion of the population finding certain swear words offensive should be creating a stir in the more market-research conscious parts of Oxford and Cambridge.

In the interests of inoffensive higher education we look forward to the vice chancellor of Oxford presiding as head of house over the renaming ceremony of Git College.
