Thats what people ahve been talking about on DS.
Not sure which one, but apparently BB called the housemates into the DR and told them off not to use those words while on air.
I'm guessing it was probably JJ as he doesnt really know what words are offensive or not here. But it will be interesting to find out.

Ben was called to the Diary Room this afternoon to be reprimanded for yesterday using a term which could be offensive.
Emerging from the Diary Room, Ben told Shabby and Caoimhe that there had been a conversation about political correctness, and the title Snow White and the Seven Dwarves would probably no longer be used. Joking to the people around the table, Ben had then used a term which Big Brother deemed to be offensive.
Concerned about his "dressing down", Ben said: "I feel bad to think that I could have offended a lot of people without meaning to."

what a load of horsecrap its more offensive to highlight this kind of crap than it is to discuss it.
and i dont mean you zippy or the op.
its more offensive to ignore the fact completely that someone is different just ask them how they consider themselves are they a short person or a midget? whatever i think you will find the only people not offended are midgets/dwarves/little people the only thing they find offensive is having the pc brigade go into overdrive deciding things on their behalf.
i was hoping bb learnt a little when marcus ripped them a new AHOLE during the discussion about sree last year but it seems they are still scared witless.

They have a 15 minute time delay. How ridiculous trying to nanny what words they use. God knows they edit out enough mundane stuff so one offensive word shouldn't be a problem.
