ars longa, vita brevis

latin aphorism literally translating to "art is long, life is short" but implying that art takes a long time and we only have a short time to make it.

but to non-latin speakers (everyone), it evokes "big ass, short life" which is a controversial claim.

X: "hey Z, you're hogging two seats!"
Y: "yeah man, that's gross. ars longa, vita brevis, bro. have fun dying young."
