The very words of a truth change every generation. The Gay 90s weren't gay, though they all sucked on fags.

Words honestly placed, change in societal meaning as shown above go from innocent to salacious when translated from another language in a past generation then read in this generation. All of mankind's writings suffer from this phenomenon.

That's why you have to make sure to understand what the word meant in it's time and place.
Then when you translate it try to pick a word that isn't used as slang.
This happens more in modern culture since the English language is undergoing more changes then ever before.
