Let’s Latinize That

Attention all Latin scholars. In recognition of the recent bladder voiding in Afghanistan (gasp!) who can come up with the catchiest new Latin motto, either for that battalion or– in extremis– Our Beloved Corps itself, in case it is forced to prostrate itself before the false gods of political correctness?

My entry: “Micturimus Inimicis” or loosely, “We Piss On Our Foes.” I’m about 95% sure that I got the declension of “inimicus” right, but I’m somewhat less bold on the conjugation of “micturire.” Feel free to chime in.

Fellow Marine “Wang” goes the other way and makes an attractive offering in English that just begs for a pithy Latin translation– “Mess With Our Power and You Get the Golden Shower.” I haven’t able to render that one yet, so please feel free to lend a hand.

Also, new artwork in the style of unit crests will be most welcome.

    “Veni, Vici, Mingi”

    …almost as bad as the CWRT motto “Vidi, Vici, Veni”

    Lorem occident vos et urinam pedum tibi.

    Google free translator (sorry Mrs. Lynch!) for “We kill you and then piss on you.”

    Oh,why not tell the critics to “Just Piss Off”,and when asked about those same critics just say “Piss on ‘em”.Heh!
