Huh? I don't get it.

@BP: Was i realy out of line? I thought my smiley made it clear I was joking, but I will change it if nessesary.

To explain, in Holland it's not such an offensive word. Perhaps it's different in other countries.

I know but it was about the only time that it bore some semblance of relevance.

Generally speaking the Warner Bros. Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote cartoon latinish latinisms only work humorously in context to the cartoon itself.

But I thought a lot of posts here were pretty funny .... I mean, it's not supposed to be latin now, is it?

i was trying to liven up OT a bit, guess it didnt work

I've seen too many barbarizations of Latin for this to be funny.

As a fourth year Latin student, it offends me that someone would incorrectly correct 'rex' to 'rexus' (It actually doesn't offend me at all). Come on people, it's a third declension noun! It would read rex, regis in a glossary anywhere!
