Four Letter Words. Why is everything becoming a four letter word and why is it bad?

Asked by Perchik (4992points) February 10th, 2009

On tv now I keep hearing that _____ is becoming a four letter word. Or _______ is the new four letter word. In fact, there’s a fluther question asking about religion being a four letter word.

Why did four letter words get a bad reputation and what exactly does it mean to “become a four letter word” ?

I know a lot of bad words are 4 letters, but so are a lot of good words : “good” “love” “calm” “cake” “pies” etc…
