Long latin words = bad?

[Monkfish Acc.]

Titillandus means "to tickle".
I think that's pretty good.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

So long as I can waltz into a room and proudly announce "Veni" in a sincere voice I'm not too bothered how long the word is XD

Shame I don't know much latin.

I laughed at the thought of you proudly announcing that you came. Congratulations, you just made a dirty joke in Latin.

Felatio. Look it up.

I would say yes, but the cut-off for 'long' is 8 letters

Although I may make an exception

Ok, "cunnilingus" then.

Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici: "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe."

 

[Duskwaith]

Primus inter pares-first among equals.
Modus Operandi-Method of operation
Ave Imperator-Hail the emperor

He likes it long. BOO-YAH.
(Sorry. I notice these innuendoes. I will contribute constructively.)

This one's in memory, and my memory faults me often.

"Sic gloria transit mundi." - "Seize the day, for it is fleeting." I think. Again, my brain is a collander.
I can remember this one pretty easy. "Sick Gloria is in Transit - Monday". It was a headline in The Sun. A woman (Gloria) was being transferred from one hospital to another. The day of transferral was Monday.

How about "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia", literally, "the fear of long words"?

Or, similarily, "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophilia", "the love of long words"?

Which one has more letters? Would that have any bearing in fear/love of them?

They're the same length, so no.

Suddenly, my head hurts. Whoever invented latin needs to die (after being resurrected).

My first question is: why is the fear of long words long in itself?
My second question is: why isn't the love of long words even LONGER?

Language is in itself an asshole. "Lisp" has an "s" in it, and "Dyslexia" is hard to spell. Neither are latin, but my point remains valid.

 

[Canniballisticduck]

Quemadmodum; it means how or as which is unfair as it is extremely long. That was mostly unrelated but I feel that its unfair when most of the time in a plu-perfect verb i can get 8 words for the price of one.
Superabuntur: they will be defeated
Superaverint: they will have conqured

Oh come on, it wouldn't be have as entertaining any other way. I personally am a hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophiliac, and my favorite word is hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

If it makes you feel better, of the relative adjectives, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophiliac and hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic, the "this person loves long words" word is longer.

I hope your brain is still in your cranium.

EDIT: I might as well just make it easier for suffix freaks: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedalian means "long word".

Life of Brian!! I was gasping for air during that scene. Hilarious.

No, no, that means, "So passes the glory of the world." I think it's a Roman way of saying "Life is pain."

Anyway, I got this one on a certificate I received for scoring high in the National Latin Exam:
Labor omnia vincit - Work conquers all.

I also have a big book of Latin phrases my dad gave to me for scoring so high in Latin. Here's one of Horace's immortal quotes:
Sedit qui timuit ne non succederet - He who feared he would not succeed sat still.
And here's one from Epictetus:
Tantum eruditi sunt liberi - Only the educated are free.

I'm sure I could find several others if I bothered to look, but I think I'll just leave with this last one for you to figure out:

Sola lingua bona est lingua mortua.

Thank you.

I'm moving to a city soon where their motto is "sol justitiae illustra nos". Which means: the sun of justice illuminates us. Don't quite know what the fuck THAT means, but it sounds kinda upbeat, doesn't it?
