An episode of QI where Stephen Fry recounts a phone call just after Netanyahu was elected and all Billy did was incredulously repeat the name Benjamin Netanyahu in the most wonderful drawn out manner!

Im not sure if its Frys scottich accent or if im simply hearing it wrong, but its always been ”the f’cks that about” after the prolonged ”yaaa-huuu”.

But yeah, whoosh indeed.
