nil bastardum carborundum

Literally: Don't let the bastards get you down. ie Keep up your struggle against unfair treatment. ("Bastards" in the sense of people who treat you unfairly).
"Are you struggling to obtain your legal rights? Nil Bastardum Carborundum." meaning, literally "don't let the bastards get you down" or "don't give up in your struggle against unfair treatment."

It is a phrase of made-up words designed to sound like a traditional Latin (the language of ancient Rome) motto as used by many schools, universities and similar organizations, also by wealthy high status families or anyone who aspires to such a condition. This type of made-up pseudo- (ie fake) latin is sometimes called cod latinor "pig latin" Compare with J.K. Rowling's motto for Hogwarts school Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus The wrong use of the latin-sounding words is intentionally ironic and carries an implication of a lower class or self- educated person sticking it to "the man", who presumably could afford a classical education.

Three-Nil Down Syndrome

The sudden onset of fucktardery amongst your FIFA team when you go three-nil down.

Symptoms include: The inability to pass to anyone, inability to tackle, sudden urges to set up the opposition for sitters and in bad cases, the complete loss of the ability to retain possession.
"How have you just scored with Stuart Downing?"

"You were 3-0 down, mate. There's no way your defenders could tackle a player of Stuart Downing's capability once Three-Nil Down Syndrome had kicked in".

Nil

You will be the most lucky person if you can have whatever kind of relation with him. He’s funny, caring, gorgeous, with beautiful moves and great body (especially the ass, it’s so great). He’s handsome and smart.

He won’t never tell you he’s bad unless you are so closer, as maybe his best friend. At the same time, he’s happy person and has a solution for everything. Therefore, it’s one of the best human beings that you will know, if not the most.

When you spend some time with him, you are creating epic and hilarious memories. Sexually talking, it’s so active and energetic.
Nil is my best friend.

ada nil

Generally, when she look cold from the outside and recognize her, you realize that she is very sweet. They are very cool and everyone around them knows that they are cool. They live the full barbie life and are quiet cute as long as they're not pushed. But if you go against it / if you get too tight,bro , I wouldn't want to be there because all hell can break out at any moment.
