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 translatesΒ Β " We're always in the ****, it's just the depth that varies a bit."
