not sure who it was that asked for this but,
i gave it another go (i think it may have been Syn...)
translating "a discordian is prohibited from believing what they read."
into latin.
attentatum [abs] sequor [iste] [ecce] epistulae
"prohibited [from] following [that] [is] written"
though, just "attentatum sequor epistulae" makes for a good crest-type
latin phrase, like semper fidelis, or cogito ergo sum.
Fimus Efficio Ecflorescere [feces causes coming into bloom]
Aut Necatus I [Or Kill Me]
Peragere Mentis, Defutuere Corpus [kill yourself (mind/soul), fuck the body]
enjoy.

found it in the reference deck thread
of course, with the implied variations of latin, and synonyms to boot,
you could change it around a bit, and even emphasize different aspects of it.
the beliving, for example (i liked 'seqour' because a non-sequitur does not follow.)
prohibited was a toss up, i think a better word could be used, but i didn't give a shit.
oh, and a note when using this translater: use base words, not conjugate words.
i.e. "belief" came up, but "believing" returned no results. also, our modern language often warps and skews the latin roots, so think outside the box for finding approximations.
Awesome!
I can't run that program from work though.
Can someone tell me how to say "Bros before Hos" in latin?
probably better as
"Brothers before prostitutes" or something
how do you say, i just ate my mittens?
Latin is racist.
Fuck this thread.
latin is only as racist as my nutsack in comparison to the testicles themselves.
of course, that quality of racism is pure.
bro's before ho's
i'll give you the spit-out and you can assemble the implication you want:
"Brotherhood"
contubernium, contuberni(i) N (2nd) N 2 4 N [XWXBO]
companionship in a tent; band/brotherhood; shared war tent; apartment/lodging;
germanitas, germanitatis N (3rd) F 3 1 F [XXXDX]
brotherhood, sisterhood; affinity between things deriving from the same source;
fraternitas, fraternitatis N (3rd) F 3 1 F [XXXDO]
brotherhood, fraternity; the relationship of brothers;
congregatio, congregationis N (3rd) F 3 1 F [XXXCO]
act of forming social group; association, community; brotherhood; congregation;
"Before"
Typically, i like the adverb Prius, but here's the spitz:
prae PREP ABL [XXXAX]
before, in front; in view of, because of;
prius ADV [XXXAX]
earlier, before, previously, first;
antequam CONJ [XXXAO]
before, sooner than; until;
praeter PREP ACC [XXXAX]
besides, except, contrary to; beyond (rank), in front of, before; more than;
citra PREP ACC [XXXAO]
on this/near side of, short of; before; below, less than; without regard to;
ante PREP ACC [XXXAO]
in front/presence of, in view; before (space/time/degree); over against, facing;
"Ho's" (prostitute)
scortor, scortari, - V (1st) DEP 1 1 DEP [XXXDX]
consort with harlots/prostitutes; act like a harlot/promiscuously;
aquariolus, aquarioli N (2nd) M 2 1 M [XXXEO]
servant who supplied washing water for prostitutes;
in place of prostitute, i looked up "conjugate," for the semantic implications.
conjugatio, conjugationis N (3rd) F 3 1 F [XGXEO]
etymological connection; mixing together/combining, mixture; conjugation (late);
such as Contubernii prae Conjugationis (comradery before fucking)
in this case, i think the form of "prae" is more appropriate for the ablative positioning.
but, if you know the endings well enough (i do not, but i try), you can
make any combination of those work. i think.
Ad Justiam Magnum - For Great Justice
contubernium antequam scortari.
I like it.
I think I'll put that on my business cards.
THANKS prater! I used the Latin for Bros before Hos in my "Discordians in History" article, but I knew it was all wrong. Will edit now ad justiam magnum.
i wish i actually knew latin, in a conversational sense.
i've no use for it though.
