I think it means this:

If the Nunstruck git and Slotermeyer? Yes! Beiherhund the flipper or the Walt gersput!

That's not funny. It doesn't even look like a joke. . . It was a red herring!

But I think the best example of all has got to be the Centurion Grammar Nazi from the movie "The Life of Brian", where the centurion guard is more upset about Brian's poor Latin then the message in the graffiti itself! :lol:

Yeah, good times ^_^

I love that scene. :lol:

The Centurion actually makes a Latin mistake in that one -- at uni. Latin class our teacher played this scene to see if we could spot what that was.

Okay, It's very technical, grammatically, and possibly not very interesting as a result -- but here goes.

Brian initially writes "Romani eunt domus" which the Centurion "translates" as "People called Romani they go the house."

He gets Brian to change it to "Romanes Ite Domum." which is correct for "Romans go home."

But at one point, Brian originally says that the Accusative is required for "Domus" ~ at which point the Roman Centurion pulls out his sword, until Brian squeaks "Locative"... or something.

To use the Locative form would in fact mean "at home", so while the revised Latin is correct, for movement towards it is better to use the Accusative. [Domum= to home.]

Brian did get the grammar right at this point, but the Centurion insisted that he was wrong.

That depends on if you have ever studied Latin.

Try standing in front of the Spam at a grocery store and singing the Spam Song. You find Python Fans really really fast.
