I was fortunate enough many years ago to be in partnership with a person with a degree in linguistics.

I learnt such wonderful expressions as "the passage of time is relentless" translation: you are guilty of delay!

" To be accused of a lack of veracity is a novel experience" translation: You calling me a liar!

My favourite: " Things were said which were best left unsaid" Translation: You said what-that's not cool!

How times have changed, and not necessarily for the better
