Greek term or phrase: ιεροσυλεί

Γιατί ο Bond ιεροσυλεί στο Martini του.

Αναφέρεται στο έργο Casino Royal όπου ο μπάρμαν τον ερωτά πως θέλει το Martini του shaken or stired και ο 007 απαντά για πρώτη και τελευταία φορά "δεν δινω δεκάρα" δηλαδή "I don't give a damn". Ψάχνω κάτι καλύτερο από το commit sacrilege που νομίζω αλλοιώνει το νόημα στα αγγλικά.
