Gilbert: ... When Churchill was 20 and a young soldier, he was accused of buggery, and you know that's a terrible accusation. Well, he ended up prime minister for quite a long time.
Brian Lamb: Why was he accused of buggery, and what it is?
Gilbert: You don't know what buggery is?
Brian Lamb: Define it, please.
Gilbert: Oh, dear. Sorry, I thought the word would — buggery is what used to be called "an unnatural act of the Oscar Wilde type", is how it was actually phrased in the euphemism of the British papers. You don't know what buggery is?
