'His contribution cannot be underestimated'

Thus, on Tuesday, Matthew Bannister, 'the Fat Controller' of Radio 1, paid tribute to Chris Evans. He might have meant to say that his contribution was enormous - "cannot be exaggerated", or he might have meant what his words actually meant - his contribution was zero. A slip or a truth? We should be told. And if it was a slip, was it Freudian or Mrs Malaprop? Les Dawson said his mother-in-law's gravestone carried the tribute "gone but not forgiven".

Post the best putdowns (Freudian, malapropian or word-playing) you know or have made up to: Exaggerated Evans, Features Department, The Independent, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL by last first-class collection today or by fax before tomorrow midday to 0171-293 2182.

The quality of the champagne for the best entry cannot be underestimated
