... means "God spare us!". Or not. In a related vein to James' post below, this story about local Councils banning Latin phrases[^] caught my eye.... I defy anyone to dream up a scenario whereby someone might mistake "e.g." for "egg"..... However, it got me thinking about how such people might get confused by Latin phrases, so I have helpfully tanslated a few, just for them.... In Deo sperandum = God spare us Nil desperandum = Nothing is not random Carpe Diem = Eat fish and die Rigor mortis = Lock thoroughly In camera = Say "Cheese!" In flagrante delicto = Naughty, but nice... Bona fide = Nice doggie! Have a bone... Ars gratia artis = Modern art stinks Vice versa = "There was a young lady from Nantucket..." I could go on...
From the article: But the move has been welcomed by the Plain English Campaign which says some officials only use Latin to make themselves feel important. Sounds like an Osmosian plot, except that they used plain English to make themselves sound important.

Go on then! Usually when people say "The list is endless..." it is because they have got to the end of the list! Cave Canum - Kennel Quid Pro Quo - Cheap whore at a Rock Concert. Ad Nauseum - Jamie Oliver's Commercials The list is endless...

Come on, I'm sure you can make your own up..! but here are a few more off the top of my head: Civilitas successit barbarum = Ask Barbara nicely and you will succeed... Ab ovo = opposite of under-o Ad finem = Call to annoucne the adverts have finished (back to the film!) Ad extremum = these adverts go on too long! Credite posteri = kick your creditors up the bum! Accessit = can't afford SQLServer Why did I post this? Didn't you see the link I gave... it seems my poor ill-educated compatriots are too stupid for words.... mind you, by their own perverted brand of logic, they should surely ban Welsh too, after this[^]... Perhaps our thought-police should heed these words (correctly translated!): "Corruptisima re publica plurimae leges" - In the most corrupt state are the most laws and "Castigat ridendo mores" - One corrects customs by laughing at them
