Translations

Excello.

• I excel. / I win. / I'm happy.

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

• Pseudo Latin for "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

• The die is cast.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

• 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.)
