Bible Note: Greetings Sid! Don't flies stink? I pastored a church out in the country once that had a bad fly problem. We had an old bell tower that was infested with fly eggs. The flies would gather in the eastern windows in the morning, and let me assure you, they did indeed stink. ;-) As for 'one time' translations, there are certainly many times that a word has been used in a different, unique, or novel manner.
