Did you ever wonder why you can use any word for poop except for the word sh*t? You can say excrement, poop, poo, poo-poo, feces, defecation, caca, dung, manure, stool, fecal matter, and human waste. You can even say the word crap. But, the word "sh*t" is banned by the federal government. You can be fined by the FCC for saying it on broadcast TV or radio. Here's the weird thing; among all these words, it's sh*t, and sh*t alone that's illegal. Any other synonym is ok. Why is that? They all mean exactly the same thing. What's so special about this one word? The same is true for the "F" word. You can say sex, copulation, fornication, shag, boff, hump, diddle, score, or bone, and it's legal. You can even say screw. It's not polite, but it's allowed. But, the word f*ck alone is banned by the US government. And the same thing is true for the word c*nt. There's a lot of slang words for vagina, and they're all allowed on broadcast media. All, that is, except for the "C" word. Why is that? What is so different about these words that makes them illegal when all their synonyms are ok? Well it turns out that all of these banned, four-letter words all have something in common. Something that makes them different. And, it has nothing to do with being obscene. In fact, there was once a time when these were just common words and not considered dirty at all. Now, finally, this book reveals the secret behind English dirty words and exactly how these particular lewd words became so offensive that they were outlawed by the federal government.
