technica impendi nationi
[edit]We need a better translation (into English, in my opinion) of "technica impendi nationi." It is currently translated as "technology impulses nations" which is awkward, at best. I've never heard of a nation being "impulsed." Advice from a Latin scholar? Does it mean "technology drives nations?"

see ya later aligator
[edit]Hi im quite new at this, but I deleted the "see ya later aligator" bit - I really don't think the literal translation - "Goodbye, lizard" was a Latin phrase in use much :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.40.134.129 (talk) 08:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
statim
[edit]The link to medical shorthand under the term "statim" is no longer valid, but I'm too lazy to find the proper link.

Sensus plenior
[edit]Can someone add the phrase, "Sensus plenior" please? Stephen Bolintalk —Preceding undated comment added 06:49, 3 August 2011 (UTC).
Thank you, Michael Bednarek. --Stephen Bolintalk 04:46, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
stercus accidit, attributed to David Hume
[edit]A 20th c. catchphrase with an 18th c. Latin antecedent? That hardly seems likely. Varlaam (talk) 00:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- It seems to be a mock-Latin profanity. The attribution to Hume is indeed highly suspect and I removed it; this might be its origin. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 4th ed. (1996), doesn't have it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- I see, a quotation without citation.
- It's good we have our rules around here. Thanks, Varlaam (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Sic semper tyrannis
[edit]The claimed full version "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis" appears to have originated on the wiki page for Sic Semper Tyrannis itself from an anonymous edit. The claim that Sic Semper Tyrannis was shortened from anything was removed from that page after no earlier use of "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis" could be found. As such I've done the same here.
