[edit] Tuteme?
- liberate tuteme||"save yourself"||[Event Horizon (1997)].
Um... not the best Latin obviously. Should probably go in the "fake" category, wherever we're putting that. I understand why they made all their mistakes... except for that -me at the end. What is that supposed to be!? --Iustinus 22:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, ok, now I get it. --Iustinus 23:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remerge proposal

[edit] Names of sexual positions
Someone recently added a tergo and more pecudum. A tergo is indeed used as a euphemism for anal sex, though I am uncertain that it never refers to vaginal sex "from behind." More pecudum does seem to mean specifically what we refer to as "doggy style." I have seen a list of other names for positions, but I am not certain where exactly these originally come from. They include aversa Venus, equitatio, pendula Venus, pedibus sublatis, e lege natura. It might make sense to add some or all of these, especially if we can find more about their histories. --Iustinus 22:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lapsus Linguae
Surely lapsus linguae never means 'A "proglossis", "tip of the tongue" or "apex of the tongue"' as the article currently claims. --Iustinus 06:42, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alphabetical order - case insensitive
Hi guys,
IIUC the alphabetical order is meant to be case insensitive, isn't it? If so I guess a note about this in the introductory paragraph would be useful. --Gennaro Prota 01:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- All alphabetical lists are assumed to be case-insensitive unless stated otherwise. That's what "alphabetical order" means: the entries are listed in the order of the alphabet, regardless of case, spacing, etc. (thus "ab urbe condita" comes before "absit omen"). In fact, I've yet to see a single list on all of Wikipedia that was case-sensitive; for Latin phrases especially, whether certain words are capitalized or uncapitalized is usually arbitrary and would be useless for helping find a certain phrase. -Silence 01:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] French?
"On cause mieux quand on ne dit pas Causons." I'll admit I don't know Latin, but this phrase appears to be French. I was just browsing, so I'll defer to someone more familiar with this page/Latin regarding removal. Psyno 05:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fid def
Sorry, asserting Henry VIII to have been an heresiarch is definitely POV (as the article referred states, this is a traditional Catholic stance). More neutral would be "broke away from Rome" or "repudiated the authority of the Pope". Richard Pinch 20:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move?
An anon with no previous edit history nominated the whole series of Latin Phrases for transwiki to Wiktionary. Seeing no discussion, is there an objection to my removing the tag? Robert A.West (Talk) 00:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
