I don't get it.

I believe the joke is that it's a "bad" word. Which Hobbes knows because he's an adult (tiger), but Calvin doesn't because he's a kid. And Hobbes is lying about knowing it, so that he doesn't have to explain it to Calvin.

That makes sense, thankyou for explaining.
Most of the bad words are only 4 letters, I thought it might be something specific.

as a non-native english speaker: the word 'motherfucker' is the first thing that popped into my mind.

Could be “cunnilingus” or a similar word that’s only “adult” once it’s been explained.
