[Sca-cooks] translation needed

[Radei Drchevich]

Actually Latin has many an idiographic similarity to modern English. 4
years of latin payes off sometimes<g>.

For example : and ugly person in English is "A Dog", in Latin "Canum"
which means dog.

joy

  I have never studied Latin, but a quick Web search tells me that
  this phrase means "kiss your ass goodbye". The word "asinus" means
  "ass", as in donkey -- somehow I don't think it has the same
  alternate meaning in Latin as it does in English.
