Why when learning Kesubas can I say “Me’anes” but not the English equivalant. We a a society have arbitrary decided that in polite-yeshivish society we don’t use the English equivalent.
When I learned kesubos, we translated me’aneis as rape.
And my sixth grade rebbe, when we got up to the parsha of Amnon and Tamar, said “today we’re going to talk about rape.” And then talked about rape. And then we learned the parsha.
