@Ilan Accrding to the site rules, such questions shall be marked. I agree with you but we have more sensitive colleagues. Personally I think these words are just words so if translate, then translate and that's it.

To Moderator Re "may cause offence" - really? Come on, we are all adults and if somebody is offended reading such words they should consider changing profession. IMHO
