I once learned latin. A long time ago. Such a long time ago, in fact, that I can't remember too much of it! But I can recognize it when I see it.

Fluffer's sig, for example: In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spiniciae habes got me curious last week and I googled it up and found it meant: "You have a big piece of spinach in your front teeth". LOL

So I found this website and it's got superb ones, Everyday Latin.

The title means "Only you can prevent forest fires."

Oh and guys, "Braccae tuae aperiuntur."

Salvete omnes, quid est?

I can still muster up a tiny bit of it, just basic phrases and such. It really is true that if you don't use it, you lose it.

I remember I was in a gaming clan (back in the days of Starcraft) titled,
Perdo et Trucido. Can't remember the spelling, but it was 'Search and Destroy'.
Yeah, I'm a nerd.
