Used to be an unofficial motto of the 11th Special Forces Group (Abn)(Reserve): "Fight, 'Fornicate,' or Die!" I missed my chance to get the t-shirt, and I've forgotten what exactly the Latin phrase was. Any help?

This is my first attempt at making a new thread - if I've messed it up terribly, just delete it.

Here is a Pig Latin translator, if that'll help.

Why Latin? If our boys and girls in uniform are that proud of their philosophy, shouldn't they be happy to proclaim it in the vernacular? Come to think about it, why pussy-foot around with genteel Latinisms like "fornicate" when the Anglo-Saxon is so much more soldier-like? Wasn't publicly-funded sex education supposed to get us past all those euphemisms and hangups? What're the taxpayers getting for their money, anyway?

[Antoninus]

Pugnare, Copulare, aut Morere? Something like that?

[inertia123]

My guess: Pugna, fornica, aut more!

(Or the plural imperative: Pugnate, fornicate, aut morete!)

I think "copulare" is too nice of a word. Fornication is derived from the Latin word for brothel. I'm sure there's a better dirty word but I can't think of it.

"Vini, Vidi, Vichey"

"I came, I saw, I surrendered."

[Romulus]

Salax taberna uosque contubernales,
A pilleatis nona fratribus pila,
Solis putatis esse mentulas uobis,
Solis licere quidquid est puellarum
Confutuere et putare ceteros hircos?
An, continenter quod sedetis insulsi
Centum an ducenti, non putatis ausurum
Me una ducentos irrumare sessores?

[Chad Fairbanks]

My latin is very rusty, but maybe these will help:

Sharpei diem. (Roughly translated, 'Sieze the wrinkled dog')

Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari? ('How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?')

And, Hoc induto est fundus permagnusn? ('Does my bum look big in this?')

Hope this helps! :0)
