Re: Know Latin? Slightly rude words

The joke Latin for " Don't let the bastards grind you down " is " Nil

illegitimi carborundum " .

" Per ardua ad asbestos " is a line from a SciFi story in which a

character has been singed by a volcano on an alien planet and is a

play on the motto of the Royal Air Force " Per ardua ad astra " -

" through struggle (or hardship or adversity) to the stars " - It's a

very esoteric reference 'though the phrase is in occasional use to

describe an individual becoming " fireproof " through his or her

thorough preparation.

Do you remember the " 6 Ps of project management " - " Proper Planning

Prevents Piss Poor Performance " .

Still rambling - meds again - got to go sleep for an hour or so.

The motto of my school was " Studiis Occasiones Augmentum " - " Study

increases opportunity " which we boys translated as " Study

occasionally in August " .

LOL
