I have a friend who has a habit of saying 'pudor tu' quiet a bit... :p

[chicagofrog]

while studying Latin in Berlin, Germany, friends and me used to say:

COGITO ERGO DUMM
(German "dumm"= dumb)
i think, thus (i'm) stupid

[undercoverlover]

i put latin words in english sentences sometimes as i used to study latin but i can only remember the odd word.

So i'll say things like 'if you dont bugger off we are gonna have a pugna' -- a fight

i like putting quotes into latin, like, as i believe perhaps Caity had, or nebbs, i forget who. Prudiente et lentus, lapsunt ille curre celeriter. "Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast."

Are you thinking about the signature I had for a while: Homo homini lupus est (Man is wolf to man)?

[hamem]

Domino vobiscum....Can't wait to use that one.

Do i detect sarcasm? :suspicious: Perhaps you are suggesting my sayings aren't very handy mmm?
