0 I always heard the word "rapped" in connection with finishing films or songs.02br
00A row, in this case pronounced: rau, means fight.02br
00So therefore, the title means, that Big Brother was taken out of the program because of a race issue.0-

0Hi,02br
02br
00A small note about usage.02br
02br
00This use of 'rapped' is pretty well confined to news headlines. Newspaper headline writers like short words.02br
02br
00In real everyday English, people don't go around saying things like 'My boss rapped me yesterday over the report I wrote'.02br
02br
00Best wishes

0 "rapped" in this sense comes from the phrase "rapped over the knuckles" - something done to small children when they misbehaved.0-
