@oseiler@mastodon.nz Er, isn't merda a neo-Latin word? Surely, Classic Latinist used something like poopus ?

@oseiler@mastodon.nz faux latin "But "etm." isn't an existing Latin abbreviation, because "et merda" is not a Latin phrase: it's a calque (word-for-word translation) of the English idiom "and shit" into Latin.: -- https://www.reddit.com/r/latin/comments/10cd860/validityhistorical_support_for_et_merda_or_etm/

@oseiler@mastodon.nz Unfortunate that it probably won’t be understood by my friends on the internet, because I suddenly have a fierce temptation to include it in my lexicon. Et merda. Glorious.

@Antiroo@yiff.life 2023-10-04 11:40
@oseiler@mastodon.nz Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's not really an arrested idiom in Latin, Merdaque is what you'd say and the abbreviation would look like merdaq I think these real examples of funny Latin phrases may be more interesting to you. The first highlighted "ut merdas edatis" = "In other words, you can eat shit" "non miror, merdas si libet esse cani" I'm not impressed. Shit, if they want it, they can eat the dog's"

@decio@infosec.exchange 2023-10-05 06:16
@oseiler@mastodon.nz expanded thx 😆 👍 so etm. is the adaptation of a modern English idiom similar to (and in the manner) of the much more vulgar Italian "ad mentula canis"...

@oseiler@mastodon.nz I was watching an old Morse (Who Killed Harry Field) snd found ventosa viri restahbit and, as well as the "when toes are weary rest a bit" thing, it turns out that it translates roughly as "farts hang around" :-)

@etschneider@fediscience.org 2023-10-07 18:18
@oseiler@mastodon.nz and it sounds very close to the current French "Et merde" (and not like the "Eh merde" I read earlier in this thread) 😁

@oseiler@mastodon.nz I should try that for an event which will happen in just over two months: "Felix dies nativitatis etm.!"
