People are sniggering at this darts player’s manager’s NSFW-sounding name
Due to a misunderstanding and a language difference, Twitter went into hysterics over a throwaway comment on the World Darts Championship on Monday night.
Did Wayne Mardle just say Raymond Van Barneveld’s girlfriend is called Bendy Cock?! 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/iFZXlcJgyd

That name is Ben de Kok, and he’s not the girlfriend of Raymond Van Barneveld, or ‘Barney’, but those facts didn’t stop ‘bendy cock’ from trending for hours.
Bet Wayne Mardle had been waiting all week to say bendy cock on tv

Settle down class, his manager is called Ben de Kok. Rumours that he's friends with former IOC Vice President Dick Pound are as yet unfounded. 😉 https://t.co/FLWOQ89ei5

We didn’t. That’s a shortcut to a ruined search algorithm, if ever we saw one.
