Not my mishear, for once

From today’s Official Report :
In col. 247 of the Official Report for Monday 12 November, the final part of Lord Stoddart of Swindon’s question should have read: “As questions have been raised about Barclays’ abilities in finance, can we be assured that Bank of England money has not been used to finance these loans?” The Editor apologises for any difficulties that may have been caused by the fact that “loans” was originally misheard as “rogues”.

Rogues! I was reading some Shakespeare last night and he repeatedly uses "villain" as a term of abuse. I think we should resurrect this and start calling people "rogue" or "villain" instead of "motherfucker".
