In Roman mythology, Aequitas, also known as Aecetia, was the goddess of fair trade and honest merchants. Like Abundantia, she is depicted with a cornucopia, representing wealth from commerce. She is also shown holding a balance, representing equity and fairness. During the Roman Empire, Aequitas was sometimes worshipped as a quality or aspect of the emperor, under the name Aequitas Augusti.
Aequitas is the tattoo that one brother has in the film The Boondock Saints. His brother has a tattoo of the word Veritas. They represent justice/equality/balance/fairness and truth.
Aequitas is the source of the word equity, and also means "equality" or "justice".

It is quite possible that the words veritas and aequitas come from the Latin version of Isaiah 59:14 "et conversum est retrorsum iudicium et iustitia longe stetit quia corruit in platea veritas et aequitas non potuit ingredi" -- which translates to the King James version as "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter."

Literally: "Truth and Justice and a ton of sex," and refers to people whose Drive and Passion for the pursuit of Truth and Justice turns into really great passionate hot driven sex when they meet another person with the same drive. In other words when two Veritosexuals (people turned on by a sense of Truth/Justice in the other) meet then there is a distinct chance that their Passionate sense of Veritias and Aequitas will lead to passionate epic sex, Perfututas! Often happens with activists and public defenders.
Q. Hey Wild Man, how was your date with that public defender detective last weekend?
A. My goodness, it soooo went Veritas et Aequitas et Perfututas so quickly, its like instantly we had total trust for each other, and we were fucking all night all weekend!
