“Don't get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited.”
Bono (1960) Irish rock musician, singer of U2
PENN Address (2004)
Context: Don't get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited.
I'd just like to say to the parents, your children are safe, your country is safe, the FCC has taught me a lesson and the only four letter word I'm going to use today is P-E-N-N. Come to think of it 'Bono' is a four-letter word. The whole business of obscenity — I don't think there's anything certainly more unseemly than the sight of a rock star in academic robes. It's a bit like when people put their King Charles spaniels in little tartan sweats and hats. It's not natural, and it doesn't make the dog any smarter.

She nodded.
'You want us to go into the tortoise?'
Another nod.
'It's alive.'
Another nod.”
