lol. I remember trying to make sense of it (from what it sounded like Simon said) in Latin anyways!

To me, it sounded something like:

"Educ Orum Nosmet."

which, while somewhat bad Latin, would be translated something like the following into English:

"Lead us ourselves out of the mouth!"

or possibly

"Lead (it) out of the mouth ourself!"

being an Imperative statement in either case.


Doesnt really make much sense, but I thought it was interesting... glad I found this thread to clear it up!

Related subject I guess………borrowed from the mind of the Whedon


New expletive I’ve been getting some mileage from out at work “ Joss- Tam -It!!”. Used mainly at those times when things go wrong. Of course you should see the looks I get from fellow employees wondering if they heard me right……lol

Just my way of cussing without cussing, cuz we as browncoats all know that, that may sound even ruttin worse than a regular cussword it’s own gorram self!

Joss likes CHICKENS?? Man, there are just more and more things to like about him every day!

On one of Joss' commentary tracks, he makes fun of David Boreanaz for being afraid of them. I think David's phobia was first outed during an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Unfortunately, I can't find the clip on YouTube anymore, but I found this...

Funny enough, in German we have a phrase "Da lachen doch die Huehner!", in an extremely loose translation: "That makes Chickens laugh" (Huehner being Chickens and lachen is laughing.) It also means that something is absurd or ridiculous enough to make chickens laugh.
