Gotta be the stupidest thread you've ever done davie boy


If anything you want your name tatooed in hebrew, as DAVID is a hebrew name meaning 'beloved' I think its hebrew spelling is "מָגֵן דָּוִד" or "מגן דוד"

Dunno if i'd want TIT tatooed on my arm tho

The only reason Latin is still used by doctors and lawyers is that, as a dead language, it has ceased to evolve and the words mean the same now as they did a thousand years ago. And as it isn't in daily use they should continue to mean the same in another thousand years, unlike English and other languages which see new words formed and the meanings of existing words alter - e.g.

Word Now means Used to mean
"Gay" Poof Happy
"Wicked" Great Bad
"Mobile" Cellphone Dangly thing above a baby's bed

Can you think of any more

Et tu, Pon - et tu......

I actually enjoyed Latin @ school but then the teacher did actually make the lessons interesting, and Latin can be useful to learn if you're going to learn other languages (a lot of which are based upon certain things from Latin)

Just had to post this cos it makes me piss myself everytime i see it,

[scary music]
CENTURION:
What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?
BRIAN:
It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'.

CENTURION:
No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!
BRIAN:
Aah!
CENTURION:
Come on!
BRIAN:
'R-- Romanus'?
CENTURION:
Goes like...?
BRIAN:
'Annus'?
CENTURION:
Vocative plural of 'annus' is...?
BRIAN:
Eh. 'Anni'?
CENTURION:
'Romani'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'?
BRIAN:
'Go'. Let--
CENTURION:
Conjugate the verb 'to go'.
BRIAN:
Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'.
CENTURION:
So 'eunt' is...?
BRIAN:
Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'.
CENTURION:
But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...?
BRIAN:
The... imperative!
CENTURION:
Which is...?
BRIAN:
Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'!
CENTURION:
How many Romans?
BRIAN:
Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'.
CENTURION:
'Ite'.
BRIAN:
Ah. Eh.
CENTURION:
'Domus'?
BRIAN:
Eh.
CENTURION:
Nominative?
BRIAN:
Oh.
CENTURION:
'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?
BRIAN:
Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!
CENTURION:
Except that 'domus' takes the...?
BRIAN:
The locative, sir!
CENTURION:
Which is...?!
BRIAN:
'Domum'.
CENTURION:
'Domum'.
BRIAN:
Aaah! Ah.
CENTURION:
'Um'. Understand?
BRIAN:
Yes, sir.
CENTURION:
Now, write it out a hundred times.
BRIAN:
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
CENTURION:
Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
BRIAN:
Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar and everything, sir! Oh. Mmm!

Finished!

When I was 12 I had to write down 5 pages of Latin because I didn't do my homework.
As I knew the teacher didn't understand a word of Latin, I added "Helsen (which was the teacher's name) c*ntus est" and that sort of crap in the story

Yup, I really was funny at that age
