So who knows Latin?

So I'm goofing around on ebay and I find this...

Acccording to the listing, it means "Don't let the bastards grind you down." I think this badge is pretty cool, and I'd kinda like to get one for myself. So, hey, all you scholarly types, is the Latin correct here?

Here's the listing:

That would be the translation.

Yep, although it's bastardized Latin, appropriately enough.

**Cawdorian** · 27th August 05, 06:06 PM

The translation is generally correct!

Apparently, there's 99 available.

Groovy. Thanks, everyone, for the input. I'm going to order one. I just hope it's not as blurry in real life as it is in the photo.

There used to be a cement company in Phoenix, AZ that had that slogan on every one of its cement trucks....a large fleet too.

I love it....probably gonna git one too,

Thanks,
