μπίγκος ή πίγκος (ο) μεγάλο σφυρί, οδοντωτό στο ένα μέρος και μυτερό στο άλλο, με το οποίο σάζουν, πελεκούν τα λιθάρια, που βάνουν αγγωνάρια στα σπίτια. Επίσης με τον πίγκο «χάραζαν» οι παλιοί τα λιθάρια των λιτρουβειών και των μύλων. Λεξικό του Λευκαδίτικου Γλωσσικού Ιδιώματος – Πανταζής...

For Want of a Comma, or... when the lack of a comma costs $10 million (ouch!) A class-action lawsuit about overtime pay for truck drivers hinged entirely on a debate that has bitterly divided friends, families and foes: The dreaded — or totally necessary — Oxford comma, perhaps the most...

Η συνηθέστερη εκδοχή, κατά την εμπειρία μου, είναι το "before you can say boo".

Pal, I wish I could be of help but I've always found that legal translations where there is no direct equivalence of terms, are exceedingly difficult. I was wondering if perhaps something resembling a direct translation might work. Eg. "Conduct of/ Acting in Bad Faith in Office" or something...
