de fellationibus non curat lex

A legal principle, translating from the Latin as, "the law does not concern itself with blowjobs", based on the more well known phrase, "de minimis non curat lex", which means, "the law does not concern itself with trifles." The principle holds that blowjobs aren't really sex, and therefore laws regulating sex should not apply, or at least not as strictly, to blowjobs. Although the principle of "de fellationibus non curat lex" is often credited with former U.S. President Bill Clinton's victory against impeachment, it should be noted that the principle is not universally accepted, and persons who intend to participate, either as the insertive or the receptive partner, in blowjobs should familiarize themselves with the particular laws of their jurisdiction.

Defense counsel: Your Honor, my client clearly cannot be charged under this statue; after all, de fellationibus non curat lex.

Judge: This court has no choice but to side with the defense. Case dismissed!

Your head is so fat that your mom had to have an episiotomy to have you.

verbum

1. Meant to have the same denotation as word, i.e., a term used to indicate agreement or assent or approval. Somewhere between "cool" and "okay". The word is used by people with a rudimentary to thorough knowledge of Latin (in which it means "word"), generally ironically, as it results from the application of an elevated, academic language to a "street" or "ghetto" term. The "v" is usually pronounced as an English "w", as that is how consonantal "v" is pronounced in classical Latin.

X: Hey, I got straight 800s on my GREs!
Y: Verbum!

octopi

An attempted pluralization of the word "octopus". "Octopus", however, does not pluralize as most other words ending in "-us" borrowed from Latin. The proper Latin plural of "octopus" is "octopodes" (pronounced in English "awk-t@-POE-deez"). Saying "octopodes", however, is like pronouncing the first "r" in "February"--something seldom done and appreciated, however greatly, by very few. Your best bet is just to stick with the good old English pluralization, "octopuses".

While the two syllabontes of our mollusk neurobiology class differed in some ways, they both mentioned a discussion of how octopodes *octopi, while certainly not as intelligent as homines sapientes, were nonetheless the smartest of the invertebrata.

eight inches

An imprecise unit of length. When used by a man describing the length of his penis, it means somewhere between six-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half inches.

Rico said he had eight inches, but you'd have to be generous to say six-and-three-quarters.
