De clunibus magnis amandis oratio
Mixaloti equitis

mehercle!
(By Hercules!)
Rebecca, ecce! tantae clunes isti sunt!
(Rebecca, behold! Such large buttocks she has!)

amica esse videtur istorum hominum rhythmicorum.
(She appears to be a girlfriend of one of those rhythmic-oration people.)
sed, ut scis,
(But, as you know)
quis homines huiusmodi intellegere potest?
(Who can understand persons of this sort?)
colloquuntur equidem cum ista eo tantum, quod scortum perfectum esse videtur.
(Verily, they converse with her for this reason only, namely, that she appears to be a complete whore.)
clunes, aio, maiores esse!
(Her buttocks, I say, are rather large!)
nec possum credere quam rotondae sint.
(Nor am I able to believe how round they are.)
en! quam exstant! nonne piget te earum?
(Lo! How they stand forth! Do they not disgust you?)
ecce mulier Aethiops!
(Behold the black woman!)

magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.
(Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.)
quis enim, consortes mei, non fateatur,
(For who, colleagues, would not admit,)
cum puella incedit minore medio corpore
(Whenever a girl comes by with a rather small middle part of the body)
sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos
(Beneath which is an obvious spherical mass, that it inflames the spirits)... (more at link above)

Original "Baby Got Back" lyrics

[Vigilantcitizen]

"quis homines huiusmodi intellegere potest?"

Us southern men like women raised on pinto beans and cornbread. Calista Flockhart types do nothing for me.

[AnAmericanMother]

No Calista Flockhart types around here either.

Dr. Atkins has been having his way with me to the tune of almost 20 pounds, but I'm still a LONG way from Calista.

I am the latest in a long line of excellent Southern cooks with a strong overlay of Creole French . . . no skinny people in our orbit!

[mykdsmom]

You have WAY too much time on your hands.....to think you get paid to do this too, tsk tsk ; )

The soon to be Mrs. VC was a very nice looking 105 pounds when we got together 7 years ago, but has since put on about 20 pounds.

She worries about it alot more than I do.

LOL....I just remembered that my eldest son, age 8 was singing this song the other day. I asked him where he heard this because I don't listen to rap at all.

He said, "Don't you remember it's in Shrek?" I wracked my elderly brain and by God he's right, it's at the end. It has to have been 2 years since he's seen that movie. Of all the things I'd like him to remember, this song is not one of them.

[VermiciousKnid]

Dang...and I thought the original was hilarious!

I must admit, though, that I am now plagued with the image of what Sister Mary Arnold might say about this during Latin I class...it ain't pretty (but it's pretty funny)...

Regards,

[A CA Guy]

Kobe should love this rendition.

(what's "Nasty Little Clique™" in Latin?)

Vitiositas aliquantulus classis

Literal translation: Vicious little group

It's as close as I could get. Seems to mean the same thing
