SOTU 643 - FOUR LETTER WORD

FOUR LETTER WORD - Billy Connolly
Relevant to this song, in the second paragraph of a British article called Television's Magic Moments : "Those bits of television that are collectively recalled as landmark moments are often less significant than we think [...] Kenneth Tynan was not the first person to use the F-word on television: that was either Brendan Behan on Panorama in 1956 (although no one could understand him because he was drunk) or the man who painted the railings on Stranmillis Embankment alongside the river Lagan in Belfast, who in 1959 told Ulster TV's teatime magazine programme, Roundabout, that his job was f***ing boring."

Thanks so much Sabine.

This is great, Jim ... great lyrics and a great cover from you! (Having lived with two teenage boys, 4-letter words hold no fear for me!)

[@PHJimY]

Ah yes, I can recall those days too Val.

[@PHJimY]

🤣Thanks for that Joo. I probably use it more than I need to as well, but it's such a useful word - verb, noun, adjective, adverb, and you can even inject it into another word - "Absof***inglutely".

@@PHJimY 🤣 It needs a medal for its versatility!

[@Diddy_Wah_Wiggy]

Another cool song, Jim. Very entertaining.

[@PHJimY]

You'll have to use your imagination RM.
