== Translations ==

'''Excello.''' 
*I excel. / I win. / I'm happy.


'''Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati''' 
*Pseudo Latin for "[[wikipedia:The_Red_Green_Show|When all else fails, play dead.]]" It's not how that phrase would be really translated into Latin except by Latin students playing very loosely with the language since 'flunkus' is not a Latin word.


'''Alea jacta est'''
*[[wikipedia:Alea_jacta_est|The die is cast.]]


'''Si vis pacem, para bellum''' 
*[[wikipedia:Talk:List_of_Latin_proverbs#Si_vis_pacem.2C_para_bellum_or_Sic_vis_pacem.2C_para_bellum.3F|If you want peace, prepare for war.]]


'''Ab origine...'''
*From the beginning (often used in Latin classes to mean start again from the beginning, similar to 'from the top.')


'''Terra incognita.'''
*Unknown territory. (Often seen on maps over uncharted or unexplored lands.)


'''Sapere aude.'''
*Have the courage to think.


'''Fortes fortuna juvat'''
*Fortune aids the bold.


'''Abutebaris modo subjunctivo denuo...'''
*You've been misusing the subjunctive case again.


'''A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi.''' 
*A cliff in front and wolves behind. (That is to say, trapped.)
