	Anonymous  #132475  Wed, 31 Aug 05 01:28 PM 'a four-letter man' Does it mean 'a disgusting man'? Do you also say 'a four-letter woman' or 'a four-letter person'? Thank you.    Anonymous

	Anonymous  #280863  Sat, 14 Oct 06 06:35 PM 'homo' - originally from Greek, meaning 'same'  (homosexual = 'same sex',  has nothing to do with homo/man!) "four-letter man", Hemingway describes Francis Macomber as a four letter man in 'The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber' published 1936. I too would like to know what being a 'four-letter man' means? Anyone, any other ideas??    Anonymous
