Well they might have gotten it from the following joke:

One day the Pope is doing a crossword puzzle when he asks one of his Cardinals, 'What’s a four letter word for a woman that ends -unt?"

The Cardinal immediately responds, “Aunt.”

The Pope nods his head and then says, “Do you happen to have an eraser?”  
[/QUOTE]  
Similarly, in _Stuck on You_:

I need a four letter word for “snatch”.

“Grab”

:Breaks out eraser:

And as for \_ \_ LL \_ \_ SHER: I would’ve probably said “Ball Washer”.
