I think that Big Brother are going to be quite hot on any offensive or 
mildly offensive words after the celebrity big brother issues. I don't 
think that any use of such words would be tolerated in BB for this reason. 
Regardless whether you think P or G is offensive I imagine there's a book 
of words that BB contestants were shown that they can't use.

That's reality TV for you. I think they can use the words Naff Off
