You can't expect people to paraphrase what you said days ago. Why did Sam say that to only Dexter when the whole house ignores the bore? Sam had it for "the A$$hole!" now was the time for redemption.

Talking about Chinese whispers yourself, spinning what Dex said;

Dex; 'Don't talk to me now Callum has gone'

Sam; 'Don't feel the need to talk to me now Callum has gone'

Same bloody meaning!

Sam Callum & their fans construe what was said as an attack because Dexter spoke the truth and made Sam look like a plonker.

Today, the name "Chinese whispers" is said by some to be considered offensive. Historians trace Westerners' use of the word Chinese to denote "confusion" and "incomprehensibility" to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Chinese people in the 1600s, and attribute it to Europeans' inability to understand and appreciate China's radically different culture and worldview. Using the phrase "Chinese whispers" suggested a belief that the Chinese language itself is not understandable.

I bet Chinese people aren't in the slightest bothered about it. I'm sure they have more pressing things to worry about!

"I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar.

Could be a Chinese Wispa."

Comedian Rob Auton has won an award for the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.

The 30-year-old, from York, was given the prize by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel put a selection of their favourites to a public vote.

He won for the joke: "I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa."

The top 10 funniest included jokes by Tim Vine and Marcus Brigstocke.

The judges sat through hours of material before nominating their favourite three gags for the shortlist.
