Rescued material from the Wikipedia to-be-disambiguation page w:lacuna. Dropping it here for the moment, until incorporate-toss decisions can be made. Sanguinity 17:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

The word is Latin for hole or pit. The plural is lacunae. (The word lagoon referring to an empty space of water is cognate.)
I've just heard it used as a replacement for a swearword, sort of a verbal bleep. Is that common and mentionable?
