I wish apple would have made it so you can flick to select via the edit option then once you double tap that you can turn the rotor and flick up and down to select the line, word, char and so forth.

Upon selecting the first five words, for my purposes I could press delete to make them go away, however, if you wanted to cut or copy them for some reason, you could get them to your clipboard by toggling the roter to "edit", flicking down to either "cut" or "copy" and double tapping. Either via "cut" or pressing "del", those five words are gone -- I now have text reading: >>>> >>>> >>>> " 867-5309 and ask for Jenny." >>>> >>>> >>>> Now all I need to do is place the insertion pointer to the right of the phone number, rotate to words and use an open pinch gesture to select the unwanted four words as described above.
