So I just learned my lifelong motto (there's a tattoo on my alter ego I can't show) is really faux Latin.
Oh well. It's still awesome.
Who said illegitimi non carborundum?
Vinegar" Joe Stilwell
The phrase originated during World War II. Lexicographer Eric Partridge attributes it to British army intelligence very early in the war (using the dative plural illegitimis). The phrase was adopted by US Army General "Vinegar" Joe Stilwell as his motto during the war, in the form Illegitimati non carborundum.
Bonus:
OK, you demanded it.
Extended play version
Enjoy!
All one need do is realize that they are smarter and much more resilient than the average bastard. The average bastard is totally lost if he loses his master or has to think beyond his indoctrinated agenda. We require no master and no agenda. We win.
Thank you!! How did you know it’s just what I needed?
