Jonah
culture, plain black flags were often employed by most pirates in the 17th–18th century. Historically, the flag was flown to frighten pirates’ victims into surrendering without a fight, since it conveyed the message that the attackers were outlaws who would not consider themselves bound by the usual rules of engagement. Since the decline of piracy, various military units have used the Jolly Roger, usually in skull-and-crossbones design, as a victory flag to ascribe to themselves the proverbial ferocity and toughness of pirates.
Jonah – Иона, библейский пророк; человек, приносящий несчастье Someone who brings bad luck (a biblical reference to the book of Jonah): His workmates regard him as a Jonah. Things always go wrong when he’s around. Judas kiss – (библ.) поцелуй Иуды; предательский поцелуй According to the Synoptic Gospels, Judas identified Jesus to the soldiers by means of a kiss. This is the Kiss of Judas, also known (especially in art) as the Betrayal of Christ, which occurs in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper, and leads directly to the arrest of Jesus by the police force. More broadly, a Judas kiss may refer to an act appearing to be an act of friendship, which is in fact harmful to the recipient. Jumping Judas! (Am) – удивлённое восклицание An expression of surprise or shock. For want of the origin of the phrase, it may be interesting to learn about the existence of Judas Jump, a British short-lived prog rock supergroup, formed in 1969. They released one album and three singles before disbanding in 1971. They are best known for their various members who had success before and after Judas Jump.
