    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:

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