"A Few Latin Phrases"
(a phrase that will ring dirty for all who have seen Dangeous Liaisons) ;-)

Ah, some Latin to know:

Nil Illegitimis Carbonundrum: "Don't let the bastards grind you down" (thanks RK)

Es de acervus excrementum: "You are a pile of shit"

Bibe meum semenum e baculo: "Drink my semen from a cup" (oh dear....)

Podex perfectus est: "You are a perfect asshole"

Lambes meus globi: "Lick my balls" (well, 'globes,' really, but...)

Tarditas et procrastinatio odiosa est: "Delay and procrastination is hateful"

Favete linguis: "Keep quiet"

Nunc est bibendum: "Let us drink"

Timendi causa est nescire: "Ignorance is the cause of fear"

Nihilo ex nihilo: "Nothing comes from nothing" (c.f., King Lear)

and

Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur: "Even a god finds it hard to love and to be wise at the same time"

No kidding....

Won't let the bastards grind me down....
