“Man is a four letter word” meaning?
I assume that the phrase "Man is a four-letter word" suggests that referring to someone as a man can be considered offensive, similar to how other four-letter words are often viewed. However, I'm not entirely certain about this interpretation, and many lyrical meaning sites do not provide any insight on the matter. Can anyone clarify the meaning behind this phrase?

I listened to the song and then I had to google the lyrics, and I thnk you’re right. He is definitely talking about man being bad like every other four letter word. The entire song is filled with hate and self loathing. This is a guy who is a piece of sh** and he knows it. But hey at least he warns people "You’re lookin at an absolute zero. I won’t be devil, but I won’t be you’re hero". The song is really kind of awful, but at least its honest. He even says ‘if I’ve offended you, you probably deserved it’. YEP! THAT man is definitely a four letter word lol
My take is, man is a simple person, thus a four letter word is basic. I would hope it was not offensive, but hard to say in a song and I don’t know that song.
Pretty sure it’s just inferred…
Either man is a bad thing or the People = Sh!t reference, one or the other.
In this song, I’m going w/ A… Man is a bad thing.
