Dude, get a tramp stamp!

I hate it when I see people with broken or mistranslated foreign phrases tattooed on their bodies, and even worse, misspelled English words.

This phrase doesn't make any sense.
Exactly. Why did it take numerous posts for someone to point that out?

That was a favorite of one of my Latin teachers; also, she loved:

"Crape Diem" (and no, it doesn't exactly work).
and what the hell is crape diem

is that a french pancake war cry or something

I think you were going for "carpe diem"


can someone translate this into Latin for me:

carpe diem - seize the day

crape diem - cease the day

dont get all butt hurt, man your translation was dealt with on page one. Your prhrasing was too specific to be translated well.....word for word translations do do well with dead languages because the lexicon is not up to date nor does phrasing rarely work right.

boil down your phrase to gesture words.

Veni Vidi Vici translates into I came, i saw, I conqured but it is series of gesture words that became the saying


BTW: best i could find for crape diem = wine day

Hence my comment that it "doesn't exactly work."

My Latin teacher used to say: "Crape Diem: Seize the toilet paper."
