who speaks latin?

When I was younger a friend of mine had a shirt that said in latin

"Don't Let the Bastards wear you down" He also said that was a very rough translation. Does anyone know what the latin for that is?

 

arouse the Unk

 

The T-shirt did not have real Latin, but bastard Latin: Illegitimi Non Carborundum.

 

you had that shirt too? Oh yeah, and thank you very much!

 

Hey Bill: I'm not that kind of Lutheran.

"Illegitimus could conceivably mean 'bastard' in Latin, but was not the usual word for it: Follett World-Wide Latin
Dictionary (Follett, 1967) gives nothus homo for bastard of known father, and spurius for bastard of unknown father."

Why did this remind me of how many Eskimo words there are for snow?

What? You taught Latin, right?

 

"Speaking of anthropological canards, no discussion of language and thought would be complete without the Great Eskimo Vocabulary Hoax. Contrary to popular belief, the Eskimos do not have more words for snow than do speakers of English. They do not have four hundred words for snow, as has been claimed in print, or two hundred, or one hundred, or forty-eight, or even nine. One dictionary puts the figure at two. Counting generously, experts can come up with about a dozen, but by such standards English would not be far behind, with snow, sleet, slush, blizzard, avalanch, hail, hardpack, powder, flurry, dusting, and a coinage of Boston's WBZ-TV meteorologist Bruce Schwoegler, snizzling."

Lapsus linguae
Lapsus linguae - I once saw this on a woman's T-shirt. It could have many meanings!

 

Yes, but I'm persnickety about who arouses me.

 

Since Catholics are copious here, I am certain that help is in sight.

(who still fondly reminisces the days of Latin liturgy in the Catholic Church and wished that ecumenically things are the way they were back then)

But not persnickety about glomping onto a particular nuance of a verb??

...shame, shame Unk. For as a man thinketh, so is he

 

At my stage in life, Bill, it's as a man rather vaguely remembers...

 

Unk

Is it oodmorninggay or oodgay orningmay?

Thanks in advance.

 

This is exactly the sort of misconscrual I feared.

 

And that would lead us where?
