[Brian is writing graffiti on the palace wall. The Centurion catches him in the act]
Centurion: [places a heavy hand on Brian's shoulder] What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes they go the house?
Brian: [flinches] It says, "Romans go home!"
Centurion: No, it doesn't. What's the latin for "Roman"? [grabs Brian's ear] Come on, come on!
Brian: Er, "Romanus"!
Centurion: Goes like?
Brian: "Annus"?
Centurion: Vocative plural of "Annus" is?
Brian: Er, er, "Anni" !
Centurion: "Romani..." [grabs Brian's brush and writes "Romani" over his graffiti and lets go of his ear] "Eunt"? What is "eunt"?
Brian: "Go"? Er...
Centurion: Conjugate the verb, "to go"!
Brian: Er, "Ire". Er, "eo", "is", "it", "imus", "itis", "eunt".
Centurion: So, "eunt" is...?
Brian: Er... Third person, plural, present indicative! Er... "They go"!
Centurion: But "Romans go home" is an order, [grabs Brian's sideburn] so you must use the...?
Brian: Aaagh! Oh! Oh, the imperative!
Centurion: Which is...?
Brian: Aaaagh! Er, er, "i" !
Centurion How many Romans?
Brian: Aaaaagh! Plural, plural, er, "ite"!
Centurion: "Ite"... [writes "ite"] "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home"? This is motion towards, isn't it, boy?
Brian: Dative, sir!
[the Centurion holds a sword to his throat]
Brian: Aaagh! Not the dative, not the dative! The-the, er, the accusative! "Domum", sir! "Ad domum"!
Centurion Except that "Domus" takes the...? [presses the sword against Brian's throat]
Brian: Uuugh! The locative!
Centurion Which is?!
Brian: Er, "Domum"!?
Centurion: [removes the sword from Brian's throats and writes] "Domum..." "Oum..." Understand?
Brian: Yes, sir!
Centurion: Now, write it out a hundred times.
Brian: Yes sir! Thank you, sir! Hail Caesar, sir!
Centurion: Hail Caesar! If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

Simplicitas.
That, dear reader, is Latin – the language of excessively edgy proverbs and true commitments, like a cringy tattoo inked during mid-teen emo years.

" (heralding the 2021 April Fools' update)
" (heralding the 2021 April Fools' update)Latin is my language of choice, but I just like to make it up by adding "-us" to at the end. So I smackus the raccoonus and the lockus open upus, and then I fly aroundus and I have a faceus. Wrapus some guysus upus, then grab some moneyus and then I leaveus a cardus. I readus the bookus, and some bad guysusus came bysus and tried to killsus.
