CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
The irony is the offline pal who I know can answer is also the person the jocular Latin is for, so I can't just fluff it with Novicium Celestiae or something.

But of course!
I don't know that but remember that homunculus was a good insult in those days.
Other languages are available -
Tyro ex terra?
Are you off to the Vatican, Uberuce?
I doubt Ratzie Baby and I would get along, somehow.
Is there not a scene in wyatt Earp where val Kilmer playing doc Holliday insults the clantons or other villains via an exchange of Latin phrases? He Also has a little silver cup for his laudanum and calls Kevin costner huckleberry or dangleberry a lot.
Romanes eunt domum. People called romanes they go the house. is another favourite dog Latin movie moment.
Space and cadet sound French. French being a romance language will be even more rooted in Latin than English
In vino veritas or hungover and listening to the rain flooding my roofless back porch
@amir: "I don't know that but remember that homunculus was a good insult in those days"
That's some memory you have! Wasn't homunculus used as an insult by Captain Haddock? Maybe that was covered in Ecce Romani MCXXIV.
