Hm... first I thought it may be because "my property" is also "my 
beloved one" - but then I checked bing, and {bang} is what Bing gives as 
a translation from "property".

Again, it's Hamlet, Act II, Scene I:

This is the very ecstasy of love
Whose violent property fordoes itself

Yes - but fortunately, the judges won't recognize that. But asking a 
atrue speaker would have been even better, because it would even more 
prove that it's a true language, instead of just a game created by a 
computer software. :-/
