Most obscene 4-letter word
We all(?) know the four-letter words fuck, cunt, cock, arse, shit, piss, and fart. Doubtless
imaginative readers
can think of others. It is convenient that dick has four letters, but such words as tit and prick
do not oblige.
Edward Sagarin has suggested in his "Anatomy of Dirty Words" that there is only one
four-letter word in the
English language - fuck. We know what he means. It could be argued that to many people this
word has a unique
status, a peculiar aura of foulness, and that where other four-letter words may be tolerated,
fuck would still be
beyond the pale. Until recently the word was banned from all dictionaries ever since the
eighteenth century. The
earliest dictionary to record the word is John Florio's Italian- English dictionary, "A
Worlde of Wordes" (1598).
