Given the number of gaffes and blunders made by George Dubblya over the years, this fact is probably not that surprising, but it is true, the "F" word was inappropriately (if there is EVER an appropriate use) used on the Queen's most recent visit to the US.
When I say recent - it implies that she is a "frequent visitor", and I suppose that it would be more grammatically correct to say that she was a "regular" rather than "frequent" visitor. She went to the US at least twice in the 20th century and she has already gone once in the 21st! No doubt, if she were to live long enough I'm sure that she'd even go back in the 22nd century.
(Clearly the use of "regular", is similar to me referring to myself as "regular" visitor to the gym...given that I went, albeit only once, in 2004, 2005, 2006 etc).
Anyway, back to the question.
Whilst we know that Dubblya stated that the Queen had “... dined with 10 US presidents..." and "...helped the US nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 - 1976.”, very nearly implying that she was 200+ years old, many may have missed the use of the "F" word.
This occurred when he referred to Madge (as those of us close to her like to call her) as "feisty"!
The accepted definition of feisty being "...irritable and looking for trouble".
All I can say is that she went to the right place!
