Source text - English Waylon "Killer Croc" Jones. The nickname was more than reputation. Sure, he was a killer -- stone cold homicide was his stock in trade. But if he grew strawberries, odds are they'd call him "farmer croc". Or if he were a pro bowler, he'd be "alley gator".
Translation - Portuguese Waylon "Crocodilo Assassino" Jones. A alcunha era mais do que mera reputação. Era um assassino, sim - homicídios a sangue frio eram os ossos do seu ofício. Mas, se fosse florista, o mais certo era chamarem-lhe "Jacarandé". Ou, se fosse camionista, seria o "Caimião".

In a word, I am a man of many, live by them, hang on every one, should be taken at mine, and hope these aren't my famous last ones.
Regardless of the language pair - whether it's a full-length novel, an instruction manual for truck parts or a PR selling hype it doesn't really believe in - there is no such thing as something that's hard to put into words, and I refuse to be forced to eat mine on that.
