    @Moon @SuperDicq @leyonhjelm I don't know the details of that, but the first thing I think of is the "Russian Reset" with Hillary Clinton.

    I just did a quick search and found this funny tidbit I didn't know:

    >On 6 March 2009 in Geneva, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red button with the English word "reset" and the Roman alphabet transliteration of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet word перегрузка ("peregruzka"). It was intended that this would be the Russian word for "reset" but actually was the word for "overload". (The correct translation would be перезагрузка ["perezagruzka"].) Additionally, the button switch was the type commonly used as an emergency stop on industrial equipment.

    The button was labelled "overload", not "reset", in Russian. I don't even.
