No, not that kind of four-letter word (necessarily).
Jesus Lizard had a whole run of record titles with four letter words. So did Foetus. And KMFDM did five-letter words.
Few questions:
Why did these bands do this all at once? Who came first? Anyone else? And isn't this sort of nerdy wordplay kind of not in keeping with their otherwise aggro images?

Similar things were happening with movie titles at the time. Millennial need for definition?
