Operor non humilitas canis

[shereads]

If you didn't attend an underfunded public school in the Bible Belt where your education was designed to help you fill out the job application for Asbestos Taster at Union Carbide - or if you did, but can read Latin anyway - I need your help.

I'm ordering an engraved address plaque which, in additon to my house numbers, has room for a phrase. I've decided on, "Do not humiliate the dog," in Latin. Everything looks important in Latin.

A free online translator gave me, "Operor non humilitas canis." Is that correct? If it's not, and it's engraved and nailed to the front gate, the dog will feel even worse.

I think maybe 'at oughta be "Ooday otnay humayilliayateday ehtey ogday." And I ain't in no asbestos tastin no more. I got promoted and transferred to the Prestone plant. At asbestos stuff ain't good fer ye, gal.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, porcine Latin isn't quite what I was looking for. I need to address the many people from Latin America who live in my city.

This link is fun.

I typed in, "LOOK AT THE PACKAGE ON NERO" and got the scholarly-seeming "INVISO SARCINA IN NERO."

What family wouldn't be proud to have that under their coat of arms?

Having lived in Florida, my observation is that many of the Latin Americans that reside there, unfortunately, don't speak actual Latin, so I think your cleverness would be wasted.

How about, "Get the fuck away from my dog." Too many characters?

I think that is is just "Non humilitas canis," but don't quote me on it.

May I humbly suggest the phrase:

"Te futueo et equum tuum"

It is, I believe, a vast improvement on "Oper non humilitas canis." It also works if you get rid of the dog.

How did you know where I went to school?
Oh, and it turns out I was still underqualified for the job.

When I tried the translator for this, I got "Unclean to deposit are to loosen far Literotica."



Someone help me, please. Latin wasn't offered in my podunk town (village). We were lucky to get Spanish and German taught in the schools.

According to the late Mike Royko, the unofficial motto of the city of Chicago is, "Where's Mine?"

I've been looking for the Latin version of that for years.

Wow. Their schools must suck even more than ours.

When I tried the translator for this, I got "Unclean to deposit are to loosen far Literotica."

I tried my phrase in reverse in the same translator and got: "To work not humility dog."

Dammit.

I'm going with something more traditional. "Canis Fugit."

I am NOT a latin student. However, "Quad est mei" seems to work.

Civis Romanus sum!

Well, I'm not, but... Non scholae, sed vitae discimus, and that's why I never paid much attention in Latin lessons at school. Bored me to tears.

Cave canem!
