A common but unofficial motto of the US Navy. Semper Fortis actually translates 2 ways; "Always Powerful" and Always Courageous".
I saw an incorrect translation of a term my father held dear to his heart; much like a marine would hold "Semper Fidelis" close to theirs, so im correcting it in hopes of spreading knowledge. My father was a Navy Corps man in Vietnam. Was a POW for 19 months "unofficially". Get facts & research BEFORE posting publicly people! 😏

Anyone who digs in the ground or mines, specifically in search of something buried. Can be more loosely used to include digging for other reasons. Variations include forty-nining and forty-nined, et al.
Look, ma! That dirty forty-niner just dug himself up some pirates booty!
I was going to go forty-nining at the beach today, but I read that those areas have all been forty-nined already.

In "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the ultra-computer, "Deep Thought," is asked to give "the meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything." After a very long time calculating, Deep Thought declares the answer is "Forty-Two," which mystifies everyone.
Douglas Adams, the author of the "Hitchhiker" series, was familiar with computer programming. The symbol for a "wild card" -- a value that can be whatever the programmer desires and/or what the program needs to run -- is the "asterisk," which is this symbol * , sometimes called the "star" symbol."
In the American Standard Code for Instructional Interchange, or "ASCII," the "asterisk" is symbol number "42." Thus, "42" became a programmers' inside joke meaning "whatever you want it to be." Deep Thought could have said given its answer as, "anything" or "whatever you want it to be," but being a computer, it gave the ASCII code number, instead.

"I have an answer," Deep Thought said, "though I don't think you're going to like it."
"What is it?" asked the mice?
"The answer is....is...is...Forty-Two!"
Vroomfondle asked, "Is that it? What is THAT supposed to mean?"
Programmer 1: I'm going out for a burger, you want something?
Programmer 2: Sure.
Programmer 1: Okay, what do you want.
Programmer 2: Oh, I'm not sure. Get me Forty-Two.
