Vary how you translate a given word by even a little bit and it canchange the intended meaning.

Remember way back to the 70s when the "Good News for Modern Man" version of the Bible came out?
I believe the proper translation was "Thou shalt not whack (without a sit down)".
I think it was in a Sicilian text I saw.
