It is just one more word...

'One does not use words like that!' she said.

'I do not,' but did she mean words like that one, (you know the one)? Or was it words in that way?

It had been safe to say, 'I do not,' or so I thought.

'But you do!' It was a sharp shout.

'Such words are short, clear and mean -' She cut me off;

'Mean, yes. Just so.'

'But fuck is fine? And dick and shag?'

'Why not? These words are male, I do not feel them, here.' Spit came from her lips, a hand was on her heart.

I do use it, from time to time, true: what else rhymes with "dove"?
