Way back when, someone convicted of a sex crime would have a sign over their head while they were being mocked in the town square saying For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Victorian era - no one was allowed to talk about sex - bad word.

Finally that piece of trivia gets used.

Supposedly, the first bad 4 letter word was YHWH or something. Saying Yahweh's name in vain or something of that sort.
