Canon in Translation

Unsurprisingly, the French word  un canon is translated to mean precisely what you would assume it to mean: cannon or gun. But it is also commonly translated to mean cylinder, as well as to mean a musical canon. Informally  Ã‚  un canon,  pronounced kah-no(n), translates to mean great, or gorgeous.
