At a family get-together the other night, we were playing at coming up with alternative translations of common sayings in other languages. You know the sort of thing -
Sic transit gloria mundi = Gloria threw up on the bus on Monday.
Here are a few more we came up with -
Carpe diem = Fish for dinner tonight
Cave canem = The bondage party is down in the basement
Coup de grace = That pigeon is smoking cannabis!
Post mortem = Dead letter office
In loco parentis = What do you mean, you're pregnant??!!
- and my particular favourite
Bona fide - Who needs Viagra?
