Terry Pratchett's Latin

[David C Kifer]

Forgive me, I couldn't resist...

Some of you may know that Terry Pratchett is known to use Latin, occasionally real ancient Latin and
often modern made-up/twisted Latin, in his Discworld stories for many things: mottos, proverbs, and
puns, among other things. I went to look up one of them, and found a whole large page of them. So
you get to see a few. They are drawn from any of his 30+ books of the series, many of them appearing
in more than one book. If you are amused by such, as I am, you can find many more here:
