I want to say something like We Are All Adults Here. My 8th grade latin class and Google Translate gives me "Hic Nos Adultorum Sunt". Any suggestions?

That means "We are all adulterers here."

OK, seriously: "Hic adulti omnes sumus" would be my guess. "Adultus -a
-um; second conjugation; plural nomintative masculine Adulti -- sorry,
you have to choose either M or F or Neuter. "Sumus" -- second person
plural present indicative.

Adultorum means "of the adults."

to scurrility and obscenity far exceeding the invective poverty of
English" Moore
