I always believed that there were none, but on a rewatch of QI, I learned there are actually two:

  • Hurple / hirple: To limp (verb) or a limping gait (noun)
  • Curple: A strap under the girth of a horse’s saddle to stop the saddle from kicking forward.

    Whenever Giles is on Qi, about half the episode is him going off on an anecdote.

    I think it’s Brandreth? Not gonna lie, those are some of the best ones. You never know if what he’s saying is 100% true because he was there or 100% out of his ass. Either way, you leave entertained.
