No, <em>you&#8217;re<\/em> the Ashcroft!<\/p>\n<p>  Imagine hearing that exchange in a movie &#8212; you&#8217;d think that Hollywood had come up with a crazy new insult. Well, it turns out that some airline passengers watching the Oscar-nominated film &#8220;Sideways&#8221; on foreign flights are, in fact, hearing &#8220;Ashcroft&#8221; as a substitute for a certain seven-letter epithet commonly used to denote a human orifice.<\/p>\n<p>  The Post&#8217;s Monte Reel, based in Buenos Aires, tells us he heard the former attorney general&#8217;s name substituted at least twice in &#8220;Sideways&#8221; dialogue when he watched the film earlier this week on an Aerolineas Argentinas flight to Lima, Peru. The movie was shown in English and the dubbing was done &#8220;in the actual voices of the actors,&#8221; Reel reports. Star Thomas Haden Church utters the A-word.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metafilter.com\/mefi\/39906\" title=\"MeFi: You're an Ashcroft!
