    Lorem Ipsum .. it’s used in site design in the same way, too.

    there’s a Lorem Ipsum generator on this site
    http://www.lipsum.com/

    where you can paremeterize(?) the generator for paragraphs, etc.

    I’ve always enjoyed the word “loom”. I know it’s a mechanical device that is used to make cloth. But there’s also the intimidating use. How about, “There looms a feeling of terror over the small village”, or “Death looms”. You never hear someone saying “A happy birthday party looms….” or, “Life looms”..

    So where did the original word derive and how did that totally unconnected other meaning come into use?

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2NXuQ5ako mijj

    The translation’s interesting though ..

    It brings to mind the lyrics of this song [Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs]
    “… strike, dear Mistress, and cure his heart.”

    Marina, in viewing your Best weekend ever video it appears that
    you enjoy a good scary movie now and then. One of my favorite
    is The Shining. When Jack Torrence’s written pages are discovered
    by Wendy and it is all one sentence, is that a form of Lorem Ipsum?

    In literature (albeit a “Star Trek” story) there is a flowing – almost
    text generated thought in the story “Q-Squared” where a character
    looses his mind. His single thought rambles on for two and a half
    pages without a period. IT’S INCREDIBLE – psycho as all feck but,
    brilliantly written! Just for this one little episode snippet, be amazed
    at the style of writing. The remainder of the story ranked highly, too.

    Hello Marina,
    What a great lesson!
    This was one of your best- Thank you.
    You showed off your scholarly and creative talents with this show.
    I looked up “Secret Latin Text” and I found several cool sites but nothing that could answer the homework question.
    Yes, a HotForWords calender would be fantastic.
    Will it have a new word per week or just for the month?
    Thank you Marina- once again, this lesson was one of your best.

    Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain. but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has the right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
    I always retain better when I write down my notes.

    Also, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”
    Or, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

    Hello Bob,
    I watched it again and I believe it was a hypothetical question.
    I just woke up and this is the first thing to hit my brain and I was caught off guard.

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobs_your_uncle Bob

    The Romans didn’t use soap, they used olive oil.
    The word for soap is derived from the Gaulish language which was so similar to Latin, except for a few words for things which were unknown in Rome, that it died out during the Roman occupation of Gaul. Another example is the Gaulish word for beer, for which there was no Latin equivalent as the Romans drank wine, which survives in Spanish.
    Lingua Gallica

    Ok, I’d like to restate my compliment- it was one of you best of many.

    You got the origin of the passage correct but I’m thinking you missed the purpose of what “dummy text” or what is more commonly called “greeking” is used for.

    In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It is a form of “greeking”.

    Even though using “lorem ipsum” often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. “Lorem ipsum” also approximates a typical distribution of spaces in English.

    Since the text is only to show the layout it doesn’t have to mean anything. That passage is most commonly used since it’s most recognizable that it is not intented to be the actual text that will be used when the layout is approved.

    I have used other forms of “greeking” than that one and there is a generator program that can produce several different kinds besides the classical latin including “technobabble,” “Hillbilly,” “Marketing” and “The Matrix”

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBfWNAoZUZk&feature=related Chemikal

    probably some a-hole drunk designer grabbed with his mouse a random part of the following text :

    “Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia nonnumquam eiusmodi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur?”

    Yes, I didn’t know if she was asking for an actual Latin secret message which had been handed down and is still in use today, or if she was asking us to invent something amusing which might have been handed down.

    speaking of Latin .. i did Latin at school (for one term, because i was removed :roll: it was so terribly tedious – i had no option but to be completely useless at it) – you must have had good teachers, Marina. Mine completely sucked the life out of it. … that and i was lazy, too.

    All we seemed to do was translate ancient stuff about some army rolling burning logs down hills to defeat it’s enemy (i think) and endlessly recite ..
    amo amas amat, amamus amatis amant(maybe) ..etc + amavero amaveris amaveris, amaverimus amaveri…erm .. forgot the rest(?)…etc

    Marina,
    My dad had a slide that he would end his talks with…. He asked his audience to translate this latin paragraph:

    O Sibili, se ergo,
    Fortebus es inero.
    O Nobili, demis trux
    Si vatsinum, causan dux.

    Can you translate this? :smile:

    oh! .. that’s a good find, BillyB.

    And .. is BillyB v. William Blake a coincidence?

    England (or Albion) is Jerusalem. (though there may be some out in the mid east who disagree)

    i think this is something to do with a mix of Gnostic mysticism and British Empire freemason propoganda. It’s the notion that Jesus didn’t die on the cross, but instead was saved and made his way (along with wife n kids) to Albion.
    - this is from memory, so it’s bound to be wrong.
    other opinions are that he went off to India.

    I’m not sure what he did after moving to England. Open a restaurant or something, i expect.

  • Dez

    The word “nephilim” is a Hebrew word, a plural noun, meaning “fallen ones.” [the suffix "-im" creates the plural form] It is derived from the root word “nephil” (v) meaning “to fall.” The word is most notably found in Torah, and used in Bereishis (Genesis) to describe a group of mighty and evil men who later perished in “Noah’s flood.” The use of the word suggests that the men were considered to be giants. This is supported by its use in Bamidbar (Numbers) to describe the inhabitants of the Promised Land in the “evil” report of the (first ten) Israelite spies.

    Perhaps my Latin is a bit rusty, as in the past I have seen your strength in translation. However… I translate Calidus as “darkness” or “gloominess”… Fervens is “hot” or “heated”. Verbum is “word” (singular), so I looked for a catchy-sounding plural (Lacuna can mean “words” or “phrases in a manuscript” among other things). “Marina” has several translations, one of which was “spouse” (or husband)… so I blushed and looked for something less presumptuous (heh). :oops: Discipulum, like verbum, is singular. I also translate Diliget as “diligent” or “careful,” so I chose Diligo, meaning “to prize”, “to love,” or “esteem highly.” Conturbo has several meanings, like: to derange, to confuse, scatter, throw into confusion, distress. Perturbare, however, is an apt word that you have suggested, meaning “passion.”

    Marina suum discipulum perturbare diliget = Spouse, its disciple passion diligent (as I translate). Also Calidus pro verbum = Darkness for word.

    Aequoreus pendo altus conturbo suus discipulus = Marina values highly to derange (confuse) her disciples… or… Aequoreus diligo conturbo suus discipulus = Marina loves to derange (confuse) her disciples.

    To translate “Hot For Words”… Fervens (“hot”, “glowing,” “fiery,” or “heated”) + Pro (“for”) + Lacuna (“words” or “phrases in a manuscript”) = Fervens pro lacuna

    Lacuna means a lot of other things like: a hole, missing letters, empty space, words, pond, or phrases in a manuscript, pool, deficiency, manuscript words, loss, manuscript phrases. This makes for some funny translations… fervens pro lacuna could mean “hot for a pond”, “glowing for a hole”, “heated for missing letters,” “fiery for phrases,” etc.

    Normally, outside toilets were wooden sheds, as this material was sufficient to ensure privacy and cheap to build.
    Making one out of bricks might be thought of as overkill; more substantial than was needed for the purpose.
    Thus, describing a woman’s figure as “like a brick built outhouse” would be to insinuate that she resembled a female Soviet weightlifter more than a lithe, willowy sylph of a philologist.

    Cura te ipsum (“Take care of your own self!”) is a [[Latin injunction]], urging physicians to care for and heal themselves first, before dealing with patients.

    Cura te ipsum was made famous in the Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate. The proverb was quoted by Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke chapter 4:23. Luke the Evangelist was himself a physician.
