the black cape is a “cappa.”
speaking of Latin, let me take a whack at your tagline...
‘Stay in the doorway, if you can’t run with the great dogs...’
‘Stay in the doorway, if you can’t run with the great dogs...’
though I suppose if one wished to be anal about it, the conjugation ‘si’ would place the phrase in the subjunctive mood, there ‘potes’ would properly be ‘possis’...
but that’s only if one wished to be anal...
It’s a southernism: If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
