Translation blunder: it's a big-ass sky → ο ουρανός είναι χοντρόκωλος

ALPHA, 7/1/2021, Armageddon (1998)

President: We didn't see this thing coming?
Dan: Well, our object collison budget's about a million dollars. That allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-ass sky.

Should be ο ουρανός είναι τεράστιος ?

The translator was trying to give it a slang/rude angle in order to justify the "beg'n your pardon sir" by using a literal translation of an idiomatic superlative.

big-ass → τεράστιος, σημαντικότατος, γιγαντιαίος

O.K., so not a serious blunder.  (-:

[spiros]

Serious stylistically, in the sense of a literal translation of an idiom producing non-existent and awkward target language colocation.

[billberg23]

I meant it's not a serious illustration of an authentic blunder, but instead a translator's effort "to justify the 'beg'n your pardon sir' by using a literal translation of an idiomatic superlative."

[spiros]

Exactly.
