Yeah I'm down to get drunk on st.patty's, I won't be back into the city until late, I have to take my friend to court for driving with a suspended lisc and crashing into another car while high.

He'd probably come. You can make fun of him.

i googled it and that's apparently the "spanish" version or whatever, that's just fucking dumb bro.

The word derives from the Venetian phrase sciào vostro (in Italian schiavo vostro) or s-ciào su literally meaning "I am your slave". This greeting is analogous to the Latin Servus which is still used in a large section of Central/Eastern Europe. The expression was not a literal statement of fact, of course, but rather a perfunctory promise of good will among friends (along the lines "if you ever need my help, count on me"). The Venetian word for "slave", s-ciào ([ˈstʃao]) or s-ciàvo, is cognate of the Italian schiavo and derives from Latin sclavus which originally indicated Slavic people, often used as slaves in the Mediterranean area and which replaced servus in Medieval Latin.

That's only interesting to me because "schiavo" is slave and Terri Schiavo was a vegetable.

That said, Toodles is gayer.

which comes from the word 'slave' in some other language ... which comes from what you call slavic people .. because they were sold into slavery

[Rocl]

Only thing gayer than Toodles is "toodle-loo" unless it is immediately followed by an exaggerated "motherfucker" in which case you should stop quoting movies

when i was in HS, i didn't understand why people took latin instead of spanish/french/etc but i do find these things interesting now.

latinate english always kind of bored me, i mean i get it, but if the option to study french/german was available in my HS i'd have done that instead


edit: bored isn't the right word, but i found it less? interesting i guess
