carbophobia

An irrational fear of element 6 of the periodic table, from which all organic life is based. Promoted by such great bastions of scientific research such MTV, Current TV, and Al Gore.
Currently a source of great hysteria. Carbophobia has reached such levels its become its own religion. It rewards believers and punishes infidels and has its own apocalyptic end of the world scenario.

Often a substitute for deeper personal issues regarding the dislike of other human beings, their ability to warm themselves, cook, and transport themselves through the use of this element. and when faced with conflicting science, victims of carbophobia are prone to religious like reflexes and seek to punish disbelievers by excommunication and ridicule. Viewed by many government figures as a convenient source of new tax funds.

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.
