Lindsey Davis does a series of mysteries set in ancient Rome. We know very little about the actual slang Roman plebeians used so she had to make up a lot of ‘tough guy’ language in her books.
Wow, fascinating. So a couple of guys who did a lot of dubbing work sort of created this gonzo style and got away with applying it willy nilly. I mean I get it. Sometimes you have to get weird to keep yourself awake at work. The Wikipedia article mentions further down that one of the editors they worked with “suspected a joke.” :D
