Perhaps he meant a volleyball yellow card?

Dude, we gotta talk. I thought I was the only one left in the world who strained all situations through the seive of Latin!

"Semper ubi sub ubi."

There's nothing more fun than running something through the on-line translator. Always good for a laugh.

[tonyp]

Ubi means "where"

Ergo

Always where under where

I think you guys know what I meant. The guy had an opportunity to bring in another sport and he blew it.

I took French in high school. The only Latin that I know was taught to me by a Latin teacher, who would use this phrase in recruiting eighth graders to take Latin in high school. I know that it's probably not a real Latin phrase, and I don't know exactly how to spell it, but I'll give it a try:

"Semter Ube Sub Ube"

Any translators out there in Forum land?

the first word is Semper.

Anyone with even a first year knowledge of another romance language should be able to translate -- but recognize that it's a pun, of sorts.

"That's Latin, darlin'. It appears that Mr. Padgett is an educated man. Now I really hate him."**
