OP “Thus ‘em, I Am Faithful!”![]()
Yeah, I thought the "made me sic" was great, too!
Fido means 'I am faithful'? Cool! No wonder it got to be so well-known as a name for a dog.
Golly--that made me really think about how lacking my education was, in that I didn't take Latin.
I also realized about half an hour after I posted (but didn't have time to add an edit then) that, had I thought about it, I knew that 'sic' meant 'thus': somewhere along the way I remember reading 'Sic transit gloria mundi' and its translation of 'Thus passes the ...glory?...of the world'. And y'all good pronunciators of Latin would be rolling in your graves, if you were in your graves, at my pronunciation of that phrase.
