uncommon distinction. What?
(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.
