Semper ubi sub ubi ( direct it's "always where under where")

She said she always got ubi (where) and ibi (there) confused, so she made this up so she'd remember.

She also put the declension endings to silly songs for us...I still remember them too!

31. And the most classic: Ama et fac quod vis.

Love and f-ck anything you see. Or is it Love and screw anyone who wants to...?

No, wait...it's 'Love, and do what you wish'. Or is that: do who like....

Okay, okay. It's by St. Augustine of Hippo. Yeah, the famous, and as a youth highly oversexed sinner who become the greatest Christian theological source for a thousand years.

It's 'love and do according to your desire', and it's actually wonderful advice to people who are good by habit and intention. Still, a lot of ruthless people have much enjoyed reading Augustine's maxim in the way they preferred.

:D
