panem et circenses

a) (direct translation from Latin): bread and circuses

b) (adj): something that exists purely f-sag with no real concrete purpose

c) political scandals and entertainment as viewed on television and read in the newspapers

The United Nations, IMHO today, at least under definition b) above is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.

Et tu brute?

Latin for "You too, Brutus?"
Used when Julius Caesar was stabbed by his best friend
An expression to be used if you've been betrayed or someone has told on you or framed you in a dirty way for example

Politician: (steps out of limo)
*Sniper rifle goes off*
Bodyguard pushes politician out of way
And shoot the sniper
Politician: thanks you saved my life
Politician walks past the bodyguard
Bodyguard stabs politican in back
Politician: " Et tu brute? "

I can't think of any other example than this

panem et circences
