I always believed that there were none, but on a rewatch of QI, I learned there are actually two:
- Hurple / hirple: To limp (verb) or a limping gait (noun)
- Curple: A strap under the girth of a horse’s saddle to stop the saddle from kicking forward.

QI is a great show, but what happened to Stephen Frye? I see an old Dutch woman lately and wondering why they swapped him out?
He left at the end of the 13th season. Not entirely sure why: whether he was getting bored with it or wanted to move on, but I do recall he had some health problems around that time. Possibly a combination.
Sandi Toksvig, the current host, is Danish (she’s not subtle about that at all. lol). She was a guest several times when Frye was hosting and took over after his departure.
I think she’s doing a great job. Took her half of her first season to really hit her stride, but she’s definitely in the right chair.
