NB Cockburns - the brand of port in the UK - is always pronounced co-burns. However cock-a-leekie - chicken soup with leeks - originally Scottish, is pronounced as spelled.

I thought I'd try out a few words on IMDb, to see if anyone had rude names in English. I typed in 'wanker'. Try it and see what comes out as the top search find. Invisiotext follows, in case it doesn't work the same for everyone George Bush
Um, looks like the invisotext didn't real work |

One of the more famous TV gaffe's this side of the pond (well at least on the UK side of the pond) was a cricket commentator who unfortunately announced "The bowler's Holding the batman's Willey", as Michael Holding bowled to Peter Willey during an Enland vs West Indies test match.
I have heard rumours that this didn't actually happen, but I choose to believe it anyway 
It looks genuine (Oval, 1976). I don't think it was a gaffe, though - I think he knew just was he was saying.
I heard a recording of this and it is hysterical. After the gaffe was spoken the two commentators keep crumbling into laughter. One of then manages to continue commentating through the hysterics which just sets the other off again. Worth tracking down if you can. |

We musn't forget this wonderfullly named place in Bavaria.
Edit - oops, just realised this is a repeat of Sean's post on the first page.
Or this town in Austria. Apparently, the locals are very unhappy with all the British tourists who pass through the place and steal the town sign on the way out the other side. |
