I can understand what acrobat means in this context but who are the bastards? For a christian to use a word like that is pretty disrespectful

That's hilarious.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Hebrews 12:5-8)

I would investigate the greek word "skubala".

"Don't let the bastards grind you down" is a saying that was popular during WW2 amongst soldiers, basically meant to just keep going despite external hardship or whatever
