"I'm Fucking You"










Mr Tumble, the sign-language presenter on CBeebies, has been accused of signing "I'm fucking you" instead of "I'm happy to see you" when he greets children on the channel. Startled viewers have complained to the BBC, which has denied the allegation.

Apparently in the Makaton sign language, the sign for 'fucking' and 'happy' are quite similar.

'Baiser' in French can mean 'to fuck' or 'to kiss'. I wonder how many misunderstandings in French bars that led to.
