(A still from the movie on the next slide.)

An uncommon distinction?

The only X-rated film to have won the Academy Award for

the Best Film.

Answer…

The name X originates from the Italian language word ‘batacchio’ or ‘bataccio’, a club-like object composed of two wooden slats used in professional theatre. When struck, the batacchio produces a loud smacking noise, though little force transfers from the object to the person being struck. Actors may thus hit one another repeatedly with great audible effect while causing very little actual physical damage. Along with the inflatable bladder (of which the whoopee cushion is a modern variant), it was among the earliest special effects.

X was also a very prevalent style of art in the early 20th century.
