lol on that note: Back when my Englsih proficiency was still in its infancy--7 years ago--I actually learned the word "Bastard" as an insult and took it to mean something close to 馬鹿野郎 (for my lack of a Chinese WP and the prevalent Japanese usage on this board, I chose to use a Japanese phrase instead of Chinese).
It wasn't until much later that I learned that the origin of the word "Bastard" began as an vile remark to a child born out of wedlock. I may have insulted some people more than I meant to as a result of such learning process
