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.

Three-Nil Down Syndrome

The sudden onset of fucktardery amongst your FIFA team when you go three-nil down.

Symptoms include: The inability to pass to anyone, inability to tackle, sudden urges to set up the opposition for sitters and in bad cases, the complete loss of the ability to retain possession.

"How have you just scored with Stuart Downing?"

"You were 3-0 down, mate. There's no way your defenders could tackle a player of Stuart Downing's capability once Three-Nil Down Syndrome had kicked in".
