They wanted a curriculum vitae In absentia I decided to ad lib Ad nauseum Ipso facto, lie and deceive Exaggerate, mislead et cetera Hardly a bona fide Modus operandi They caught me in flagrante delicto Requiescat in pace, (RIP) my chances Now I'm persona non grata Mea culpa

So many latin phrases are in common use, e.g. (that's one too) status quo, terra firma, ad hoc, compos mentis, in memorandum, in situ, ex gratia, the list goes on and on, almost ad infinitum. I never studied latin but the school-yard rhyme goes Latin is a dead language, as dead as dead can be First it killed the Romans and now it's killing me Not quite true. The title translates  " We're always in the **** it's just the depth that varies a bit."
