    "Old Etonian"?! So what about "Old Harrovian" or "Old Whykamist" or "Old Salopian" etc etc

    Surely it's enough to have an entry for "old" and another for "Etonian"

      The word-beginning-with-c has been in the OED for decades. People were posting photos of it in their old dictionaries on Twitter as soon as the Mail put this story up last night

          The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

          'Hard-working families' will be in it next year.

            A feminist comedian would say,
            "Those people on Twitter got it wrong. The word is clitoris. It was also in the dictionary already, it's just that none of the men could find it."

                  They've all heard it from Paul Dacre so many times they assumed it was just some kind of animal grunt rather than an actual word

                    It's needs those fine Scottish pronouns:

                    Anyc***
                    Somec***
                    Everyc***
                    Noc***
