methinks it's 'cultura popularis' or, in the singular perspective, 'cultus popularis' (but my Latin grammer is not so keen); she has to come after me -- again -- and ask but Britney's not the one.

The fact that my fake Latin passed as real, albeit poor, Latin makes me happy.

I the only Latin I know is Tempus est the solum hostis, which is my saying Time is the only enemy. Granted, I've never read a lick of Latin, but instead I asked someone else to translate it for me. Roll Eyes

If it passed for Latin beyond the "Et tu," why would I be trying to correct it? Grin

Only about half of our "English" language is from the ancestral Anglo-Saxon; a major portion of the rest is from Latin, a few directly. You know more Latin than you're aware of -- and not just in simulation. 8)

Quando ami flunkus morotadi.

Most of it is probably misspelled, but it means "If all else fails, play dead". Also, I don't know where the comma goes.. Tongue

Well, father in law (30 years a Latin teacher) tells me,

Quando is Spanish for when
Ami is French for friend
and flunkus morotadi, he has no idea, but it is not latin. However try:

Cum omnes funes rumpunt fac ut mortuur videas esse.

LOL, thanks. Grin

I got it from a cheesy public TV show from Canada called "The Red Green Show", so what do you expect. Tongue

Ah ha! That bright occidental star has shown me that this word is 3rd declension nominative and popular is an adjective so:

Et tu , popularis culturis ?

Nothing like being a latin scholar!

this discussion reminds me of the scene in Life of brian, where the roman guard forces him to write correct latin! Grin

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!

ROMAN SOLDIER STIG:
Right. Now don't do it again.

Yikes, what have we started! As I said Andrew, I'm not so keen on the Latin grammar and the adjective/nominative order (some 'Latin' languages are reverse, subject followed by adjective).
And Theis, the period (.) shouldn't have been part of the phrase: you put your cursor a little too far to the right when you copied, didn't you?
