I just thought the fake Latin sounded better than saying the rejected suitor savagely enjoyed goosing the wife's lover with a red-hot iron, while pointing out that there is a need for "exfenestration" meaning to stick something out of the window, be it head or posterior.

Many thanks, Rod!
'Twas Paddy, not Clancy, I see! Ah, well, be it as it may, the poor fellow's been about for a long time, and I cannot help but laugh me fool head off at his expense!

Rough Latin, rough justice. I winced when I read Bill's dog-Latin. The only real description of the murder, in 1326, of Edward II at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire reads thusly:
Cum veru ignito inter celanda confossus ignominiose peremptus est.
I'll bet that made his eyes water. Local legend has it that his screams could be heard for miles around. Not hard to imagine, really. Ouch!

Cum veru ignito inter celanda confossus ignominiose peremptus est.I shall cheerfully confess my ignorance and ask for a translation, since it will mean one more step toward Pooh-Bahdom.

Roughly: He was ignominiously murdered by having a red hot spit inserted into his anus.
Ouch!
