Naughty Berwins

Obiter was most shocked to receive notification from its e-mail server that a message from top City law firm SJ Berwin had been blocked for containing 'forbidden words'.

Was the head of corporate angry that the firm had not been in 'Deals of the week' for a bit, or maybe it was Jonathan Metliss, the marketing-mad head of the sports team, concerned that we had not run his picture for as much as three weeks? Actually, the words which brought forth plumes of smoke from our server were, bizarrely, 'major acquisition'.

Obiter can only imagine that we are not up with modern vernacular, or are simply too innocent to see the double entendre.
