Explanation:
Sinceramente non credo ci sia un modo per tradurre un gioco di parole se non spiegando, tra parentesi, lo scambio dei significati. Se si traduce "coprici il vizio, ammiraglio delle terga" è poi necessario spiegare che "vice" sta per vizio, difetto+vicexxx e "rears" sta per retroguardia+terga ;-)
