The company also listed “forcing someone to prostrate themselves,”

I have questions. Is this a bad translation as telling them to go fuck themselves?

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 days ago

The translation is most likely correct and references a Japanese custom.

Prostration is the gesture of placing one's body in a reverentially or submissively prone position. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee, especially the hands, touching the ground.

In Japan, a common form of prostration is called dogeza, which was used as a sign of deep respect and submission for the elders of a family, guests, samurai, daimyōs and the Emperor. In modern times, it is generally used only in extreme circumstances, such as when apologizing for very serious transgressions or begging for an incredible favor.

Prostrate is not the same thing as prostate.

I did not think it was, except that one time, but that was an earnest misreading.
