Γεια σας παιδιά. Έχω αρχίσει να μεταφράζω μια σειρά ντοκιμαντέρ έξι επεισοδίων
για τον πόλεμο του Βιετνάμ, και τώρα βρίσκομαι στο 3ο επεισόδιο. Μπορείτε να μου πείτε
ποια μπορεί να 'ναι η απόδοση αυτή της λέξης;

Στο Merriam-Webster, δίνει αυτό τον ορισμό:

a game in which the players try to flip a knife from various positions so that the blade will stick into the ground

00:04:10,671 --> 00:04:12,848
Guys will do anything to break the tension.

52
00:04:14,046 --> 00:04:16,487
It's some of the blackest
humor I've ever seen.

53
00:04:17,733 --> 00:04:19,972
Guys play mumbly peg with bayonets,

54
00:04:20,628 --> 00:04:22,237
throwing them at each another's feet,

Οι στρατιώτες για να χαλαρώσουν στη διάρκεια μιας αποστολής πετούσαν ξιφολόγχες ο ένας στα πόδια του άλλου. Σαν ένα παιχνίδι είναι. Μήπως να το αφήσω έτσι;

—Παίζουμε «καρφώνω το μαχαίρι»;
—Ναι, αλλά με ξιφολόγχες; Θα καρφώσουμε κανένα πόδι.
—Ενδιαφέρον. A million-dollar wound.


Αφού εξηγείται στον επόμενο υπότιτλο, ο θεατής θα το καταλάβει αμέσως.

Παραπλήσιο, for manly manliness (or androids), the five finger fillet:


The Knife Game Song - Rusty Cage

There is an old tradition, a game we all can play
You start by getting liquored off and sharpening your blade
You take a shot of whisky, you grab your knife and pray
Then spread apart your fingers and this is what you say:
"Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop, chop, chop
If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off
And if I hit my fingers, blood will soon come out
But all the same I play this game 'cause that's what it's all about
Oh, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, I'm picking up the speed
And if I hit my fingers, then my hand will start to bleed"

They may end up fingerless, though. Δουλειά δεν είχε ο διάολος, κάρφωνε τα δαχτύλια. Αργία μήτηρ πάσης δακτυλοπλαστικής.

Bishop vs Ted:
A scene in the movie Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver, has an android named Bishop who plays the "knife game" with one of the crew, thus alerting Ripley (Weaver) that there is an android on board the spaceship.
The game is also played in the movie
Ted created by Seth MacFarlane; the titular character, Ted, a talking teddy bear, plays the game at a party, while intoxicated, with a stranger, and ends ups accidentally stabbing his hand.
