You know what? Latin phrases are kind of cool.

Haud ignota loquor.

 

Semper ubi sub ubi.

 

Poop.

 

Tu est asinus.


That's about a third of what I remember from taking latin so many years ago.

 

Sit vis nobiscum.


(Someone better get that. )

 

E Seclorum Unum.

 

Only slightly more than you, Espy.

 

You are, as we say in Latin, a "dorkus malorkus."

 

Greek is cooler.

 

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.


Trans. I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

 

I usually do.

 

Usually, huh?

 

Well, not in the shower.

 

<---Persona non grata

 

Kind of...

Exsultate Justi~John Williams

Laudamus te, laudamus !
We praise you, we give praise !

Exsultate, justi, in Domino;
Exult, you just, in the Lord;

Exsultate in Domino.
Exult in the Lord.

Exsultate, justi, in Domino;
Exult, you just, in the Lord;

rectos decet collaudatio.
praise from the upright is fitting.

Alleluia, Alleluia !

Salvator Dominus, Salvator mundi :
The Lord is Savior, Savior of the world :

Qui tollis peccata mundi.
You who take away the sins of the world.

Cantate ei canticum novum,
Sing to him a new song,

bene canite ei cum clangore.
pluck the strings skillfully with shouts of gladness.

 

I don't like Latin phrases very much, for the same reason George Orwell doesn't like them... and the fact that I sometimes (always) have to look them up, which wastes precious seconds of my time.

 

I don't know a word of latin....well at least not any latin phrases.

 

Not even "i.e." or "etc"?

 

Hey Typho, maybe you should put that Williams song on your radio show.

 

Gah, stop saying that phrase people. It's not correct!

My personal favourite Latin phrase: Quidquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

 

Romanes Eunt Domus
