Amicus Veritas

[Byron In Exile]

You have earned many over the years.

Gratias!

Amicus, however, seems to enjoy pissing off those to whom he is intellectually inferior.. and then, when realizing his error, to insult them. Perhaps he hopes to convince us that insults are an indicator of his intelligence? In which case, he is badly mistaken. No rose for Amicus.

I'm going to have to pay more attention to this clown.

His "insults" — well, insults are common enough on the GB. Mostly they just aren't very good. This guy, though, is so bad it's funny. Like Wile E. Coyote, his attempts at being insulting seem to explode in his face before he can manage to light the fuse.

*beep beep!*

That's a song I didn't want in my head. Thanks a lot.

It's my revenge to you being so agreeable...





Bwah ha ha ha ha ha...

In you insist, I can switch to PMS mode.

Ah, Byron in Exile, you should be in exile, without a doubt, how funking petty can you get?

You may not want to admit this, but you ought to be thanking me for at least giving you the option of not signing every one of your posts with an error, appropriate as that might seem to some.

There is the Amicus Brief, in legal language, something on the order of a friend of the court.

"Amicus curiae" is grammatically correct, as I'm sure you'll find all such common legal phrases to be. It means "friend of the court" just as "amicus veritatis" means "friend of truth." You, however, would no doubt have written "amicus curia," which is another senseless construction, literally "friend court."

There is Bon Ami, used to be a soap, I think...

That's French. You know that French and Latin are different languages, right?

I chose amicus veritas because it can be translated as a friend of truth, which I am indeed.

No, it cannot. And apparently you are not truth's friend, which imparts a certain irony to your "choice," because the truth is that it doesn't say "friend of truth," nor "true friend." Sorry about that. I didn't make the rules — blame the bloody Romans.

You are really silly and if that is all you have to offer...you have nothing...

Veritatem solam tibi offero. Numquid nihil tibi signat?

(I offer you only the truth. Can that mean nothing to you?)

Amicus Veritas (the rose shows my sentimentality..heh...)

The rose shows you embrace your folly with oblivious gaiety.

 

[sigh]

you're such a lovely boy

but you're two short of a dozen GODDAMMIT!

 

[bronzeage]

That's cool. But you have to admit that if Jesus and Shiva got into a throw-down, there would be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth on the part of the Christians.

Not so fast, blueboy.

Maybe his name is only *coincidentally* two common nouns, like Bow Derrick or
John Smith. Ot Peter O'Toole.

 

[cjh]

He reminds me of Eyer's foppish cousin.

Or, of Dr. Zachary Smith from the old Lost in Space tv series.

I find his syncophantic little *grins* and such particularly annoying. You otoh have earned at least a dozen s in my book.

Sicut nicticorax in domicilio dico. Amicus sicut fatuus dicit.

Sed quomodo te dicere nescio.

Byron, I didn't want to read the links for the translation so I dragged out my Latin dictionary. Clean this up if you will or at least let me know if I'm in the right ball park.

I speak like a night owl (?) in home. Amicus speaks like a fool. But some way or other I am unable to speak to you.

Good job, that's pretty damn close! And you must have a large dictionary because nicticorax is Late Latin.

I speak like a night-owl in its abode. Amicus speaks like a fool.
But I don't know in what way you speak.
