No this was someting like "kitchen latin", only in french. You have something like this in the english language, too (Pseudo-latin?):

– Brutus et erat forti, Caesar et sum iam, Brutus sic in omnibus, Caesar sic intram.
– Brutus ate a rat for tea, Caesar ate some jam, Brutus ’s sick in omnibus, Caesar ’s sick in tram.

Yes i know, it's really bad :O:


"Dahns ihre Fuesse da weg, sie Lackel, sie damischer"
is almost straight bavarian lol

Ah I see!

not that surprising that there would be spillover since the countries are so close.

I studied Italian a few years ago, still do not master it, but was surprised how similar it was to French. Of course, Italian and French both have strong Latin roots.

"VAE VICTUS" BBY (woe to the Vanquished)
 
Mein Völkerwanderung Ist Ihre Götterdämmerung BBY!! http://www.penfield.edu/webpages/jgi...12visigoth.jpg Good Latin was certainly never the issue: "In 390 BC, an army of Gauls led by Brennus attacked ROME, capturing all of the city except for the Capitoline Hill, which was successfully held against them. Brennus besieged the hill, and finally the Romans asked to ransome their city. Brennus demanded 1,000 Lbs. (327 kg) of gold and the Romans agreed to his terms .The Gauls provided scales and weights. The Romans brought the gold and noticed that the provided weights were fixed. The Romans complained to Brennus about the issue. Brennus took his sword, threw it on to the weights, and exclaimed, "Vae victis!" The Romans were forced to bring more gold to fulfill their obligation." From which we have derived the expression: HOW GALLING!??:03:
