I dunno...

I needed a post for March, so here it is.

And while I'm already posting, what other *essential* phrases are needed in Latin?

oh yes

Alex said...

This is basically a post so the bottom of my blog reads correctly (It said "1 idiots have spoken...heh"

There's no Latin word for "yes", so I can give you "Oh, it is"

Heu est!

(which actually kinda sounds like Oh yes...'heu' is pronounced 'ho')

But now you have to tell me the story of "oh yes"

Andrea said...

Okayokay. The essential Latin phrases, in my mind, are:

~Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione: I'm not interested in your dopey religious cult

~Da mihi porco amictum: Make mine bacon-wrapped!

~Potest salire aedificium magnum soltu solo: He is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!

~Demum, veniunt porci: At last, here come the pigs!

~Ecce potestas casei: Behold the power of cheese!

~Flocci non facio: I don't give a damn

~Credo Elvem ipsum etian vivere: I think that Elvis is still alive

~Vacca foeda: Stupid cow!

~Braccae tuae aperiuntur: Your fly is open

~Sic biscuitus disintegratum: That's the way the cookie crumbles...

~Cur rides? Ridiculum non sum!: Why are you laughing? I am not weird!

As for how I know these... DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!! (I have connections, see...)

Andrea said...

Si hoc legere scis, nimis eruditionis habes.

Alex said...

actually, "braccae tuae aperiuntur" is translated as "your pants open"...

Do your own translations, Andrea; I did and you should too.

Andrea said...

I did some of them!

Nicole said...

Elysia said...

Ian, the bulge of you huge stomach would pop open any pants you try to put on. Not that anyone would want that to happen.

Elysia said...

ummm, are you thinking of my brother's pants spontaneously coming off?

kinky.

Andrea said...

By the way, Megan, I got a Facebook...

and Alex, if you were the one who said you would date me because I'm 'cute,' I am going to kill you and it will not be done with mercy. Nicole's evil plots pale by comparison.

nah...I did say we dated for awhile, but then broke up... in '95

Elysia said...

oh wow.

i can't go on facebook either, i don't think...

Robin said...

my mom took latin in high school, but all she remembers how to say is "the clothes make the man" and "elephants don't chase mice."

Andrea said...

Well then.

Alex wishes.

Alex said...

I do wish the clothes made the man; I'd be black...

Andrea said...

I'd be jaundiced.

Elysia said...

Andrea said...

You're not ugly!
