lingua latina

Non penis canina.

A: Fuck me in the ass! I failed Latin again because of stupid declensions! This is bullshit, why do I even need to learn a dead language?!

B: Lingua latina non penis canina.

A: What?

B: It translates to "Latin language is not a dog's dick." Scholars have used this saying for ages, meaning it's a complex and elegant language, and you need to put in a lot of intellectual effort to learn it. Well no surprise you failed.

C: Actually, retards, the proper way is "Lingua latina non penis canis est." By the way, "penis" also means "tail", so not only this sentence is grammatically incorrect, but also ambiguous. If you're gonna meme, at least learn some basic grammar.

B: Thanks smartass...

A: No one fucking cares.
