From the BBC:
George Galloway has been branded a "laughing stock" by a Labour opponent after the Respect MP imitated a cat on Celebrity Big Brother.
Mr Galloway, 51, went on all fours, purred and pretended to lick cream from actress Rula Lenska's hands, as part of a task set on the Channel 4 show.
*That’s actually an incredibly clever headline, don'tcha know, because Listerine is cockney rhyming slang for Americaphobia.
Derivation: Septic = American (from ‘septic tank’ = ‘Yank’). Listerine is a brand of antiseptic. Therefore 'Listerine' = 'anti-American'.
And no, I didn’t make that up. (Stephen Fry told me on QI)
