Semper ubi sub ubi

Latin/English sound pun. The direct translation from Latin to English is "Always where under where." When spoken it comes out as "Always wear underwear."

A previous entry mistranslates the Latin word "semper" as "never." It is of course "always," as in the US Marine motto, Semper fidelis "Always faithful."

In an episode of "Frasier," the father finds the phrase "Semper ubi sub ubi" carved into the hearth in a mountain cabin the family rents, and Niles explains it to him.

Donald

Taken from Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, anything, especially a TV show or movie, that is both ugly and unpleasant to see and hear, yet is lauded and inexplicably popular.

“Everyone raved about Everybody Loves Raymond, so I watched it a few times. The characters were so nasty to each other that I hated it; it turned out to be a total Donald.”
