T13 Latin




Last week Xine posted Latin phrases to her t13 and I loved the idea so I asked her if I could snag it and she graciously gave me permission. There are so many great ones that I’m having trouble narrowing my list down. I have well over 100 phrases and quotes that either makes me laugh or think and sometimes both. So I’ve been struggling with do I want to laugh or think this week…Since it’s a holiday weekend and all how about we laugh! And since there are so many I may be able to do Latin T13s the rest of the month! The funniest favorite Latin Quotes for Donica Covey:

Here we go:
1. Suntne vacci laeti - Are your cows happy?
2. Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem - In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags
3. Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita - Life is too short to dance with ugly men
4. Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam - I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head
5. Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt - When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults
6. Estne tibi forte magna feles fulva et planissima? - Do you by chance happen to own a large, yellowish, very flat cat?
7. Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre? - Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me?
8. Isto pensitaris? - You get paid for this crap?
9. Mater tua criceta fuit, et pater tuo redoluit bacarum sambucus - Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries
10. Noli me voca, ego te vocabo - Don't call me. I'll call you
11. Noli simul flare sobereque - Don't whistle and drink at the same time
12. Non plaudite. Modo pecuniam jacite - Don't applaud. Just throw money
13. Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari? - How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Did You at least smile? Hope so! See you all next time!

Huggles,
Donica

Clever list Donica, I'd love to actually say #1 to somebody. They'd think I was crazy!

Those are great, Donica!

I am going to have to use that windswept crag one... maybe I'll even find such a thing to use as a visual aid!

Happy TT.
