The problem is, if you actually choose your 4 words randomly out of the full dictionary, you won't get something like "golf kangaroo crispy halitosis" or "correct horse battery staple". It will sound closer to "capaciously endodermal remast amarantite". The set of words as familiar as "golf", "kangaroo", etc. is much smaller than 100k.

It doesn't have to be as memorable as kangaroo, it has to be more memorable than the equivalent (in entropy) number of random characters, which I think is basically any word.
