Words such as "lezza", "poof" and "queer" are socially acceptable for use by broadcasters, an Ofcom study says.

It found that other terms such as "homo" and "chick with a dick" are less well-known but are still seen as acceptable to broadcast at any time of day.

The broadcasting watchdog, which covers the whole of the UK, asked a small sample of 130 people about what language they found acceptable.
