Credit for this goes largely to Henry Beard for writing a book that my Latin teacher incessantly quotes from.

1. “PISTRIX, PISTRIX!” = “SHARK, SHARK!”

2. “Credo Elvem ipsum etiam vivere…” = “I think that Elvis is still alive…”

3. “Fors Fortis.” = “Fat chance.”

4. “Casu consulto.” = “Accidentally on purpose.”

5. “Raptus regaliter” = “Royally screwed.”

6. “Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.” = “Thank you for not smoking.” (I use this in my house a lot)

7. “Frena pro feris teneo.” = “I brake for animals.” (Not totally useless after all)

8. “Cur ullum imprimere non vis?!” = “Why won’t you print out?!” (I say this a lot to my demon computer)

9. “Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.” = “I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.”

10. “Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse.” = “I think we’re on the same wavelength.”

11. “Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.” = “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”

12. “Id imperfectum manet dum confectum erit.” = “It ain’t over until it’s over.”

13. “Dolores capitis non fero. Eos do.” = “I don’t get headaches. I give them.” (my motto)

14. “Amicule, deliciae, num is sum qui mentiar tibi?” = “Baby, sweetheart, would I lie to you?”

15. “Eamus O Ianqui!” = “Let’s go Yankees!” (my guys!)

16. “In thermulas intremus!” = “Let’s get in the hot tub!” (doesn’t that remind you of the SIMS?")

17. “Latine loqui coactus sum.” = “I have this compulsion to speak Latin.”

18. “Machina improba! Vel mihi ede potum vel mihi redde nummos meos!” = “You infernal machine! Give me a beverage or give me back my money!” (I say this to the machines in school all the time!)

19. “Noli me vocare, ego te vocabo.” = “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”

20. “Ita, te adloquor!” = “Yeah, I’m talking to you!” (tough guy huh?)
