1. That's great! Can we have a...

..."Nos Volo Matlock!" one, too? :hi:

[zeemike]

2. That is funny as hell but what does it mean

I don;;t know Latin

[Hippo_Tron]

4. Literally "get off my grass"

Best simple translation for "hey you kids get off my lawn"

[izquierdista]

5. Get off my lawn!

(Evade my grass/grain.)

[baldguy]

3. How do you say "Damn kids!" in Latin?

[NYC_SKP]

6. "scelestus parvulus"?

or maybe scelestus parvuli?

[ccharles000]

7. LOL

8. Bitch of it all is...

...that the same concern trolls so overly wound up about Obama's “seal” will probably chide you for slamming the ol' war hero with this post.

Me? I LOVE it! LOL!

9. Not to sound like the centurion in "Life of Brian," but...

Evado is the first person indicative. For the imperative, you would use evade (singular) or evadite (plural). A better choice, though, might be exi (singular) or exito (plural), which means "exit" or "depart from."

Gramen should be in the ablative case, as you want the kids "from the grass." Because you have more than one blade of grass, the noun should be plural as well. That would make it graminibus

Rather than "grass," "field" might be a better translation of yard. That would be campus. Or you could use "garden", hortus. The ablatives for these words are campo and horto

Pronouns must agree in case, gender and number with the noun they modify, and typically follow the noun. If you use graminibus, then meus must be in the ablative neuter plural, thus graminibus meis (literally, "from my grasses.") Both campus and hortus are masculine singular, so you would use meo

So... Exito horto meo! Pueri scelerati! "Exit from my garden! Miscreant children!"

11. I'll work on an unpdated version, you should've chimed in as the Latin consultant the first time

[papapi]

12. Thank you , Professor. I stand corrected.......

but McShame's camp wouldn't be so knowledgeable.

[TechBear_Seattle]

13. True, which begs the question...

How should one translate "moran"?

[papapi]

14. Stultior stulto fuisti, qui tabellis crederes!

Tolerabiles ineptiae. Semper ubi sub ubi ubique.

[TechBear_Seattle]

15. See, that is the real problem with Latin

Sinple words like "moran" take so much longer to say. :hi:

[oldtime dfl_er]

10. That's a scream!!

:rofl:
