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.
