Educated!Jack

[dwgm]

To my 5/27 comment that I loved Jack speaking Latin at the Brethren Council. Educated!Jack is one of my favorite things in nature, an anonymous benefactor has replied, I know what Jack said!! We have movies with subtitles and the Latin part was in subtitles too; he said "Res ipsa loquitur" - "The thing speaks for itself". I also love educated Jack :)

*ponders indisputable truth of icon*

ETA: Our anonymous benefactor further states: I've just found an informaton that Hunter S. Thompson frequently used the Latin phrase to end some of his gonzo journalistic political pieces. Looks like another Johnny's inside joke ;)

ETA: See gott1172's comment below for the complete phrase and translation!

Codex piratarum -- Wish they would have used that, instead. It has a great ring to it. :D

Doesn't it?

Also fun is that "pirata" is one of a handful of weird masculine nouns in the first declension, a declension made up almost entirely of feminine nouns!

So "pirata" is a boy noun...that very much resembles a girl noun!

Hee! ;)

How strangely appropriate for PotC. *G*
