I know that from watching the BBC as a child, when two linguistic absurdities drove the seven-year-old me practically insane. One was the Blue Peter habit of referring to Sellotape as ‘sticky-backed plastic’, a phrase unspoken by anyone else in any other circumstances, except in parodies of BBC children’s programmes. Worse still was the practice of BBC continuity announcers maintaining the pretence that a cartoon which was obviously called Top Cat, which featured a theme song which made repeated reference to its protagonist as Top Cat…was somehow called Boss Cat. ✍️ Rory Sutherland Article | spectator.com/article/the-bb…
