bboyminn:

A little searching of British Slang dictionaries and I figured
this out on my own eventually.

Still, is 'knob' or 'nob' such an offensive word in the
UK that it needs to be 'bleeped'? I mean, would they have
also bleeped 'Willie'? Or any other seemingly subtle and
gentle euphemisms?

And, this was on the Digital Spy website, not a site likely 
to be frequented by 10 year olds.

Just seems odd. Maybe the took a better safe than sorry 
approach.
