French politician's slip of the tongue

It is very rare that the language of finance crosses that of the porn industry. Unless, that is, you are France's former justice minister Rachida Dati – best known for her run-in with Carla Bruni and returning to work five days after having a baby – who can now add "talking about oral sex on TV" to her resumé. Dati accidentally used the word "fellation" instead of "inflation'" in an interview. In French the two words are very similar: "Fellatio is close to zero," she said. Monkey is sure it is. Daily Mirror headline on said gaffe: "Minister in TV cock up".
