Black People : The Latin Language - Latin Phrases - Where is Latin?

[Shikamaru]

The Latins were a tribe along with the Sabines and Etruscans forming the Roman people in the geographical area today known as Italy.

As I mentioned to Destee, in a class long time ago, I talked a little about Latin phrases that are sometimes used but we dont necessarily know the origins or meanings, such as: Quid pro quo (From theLatin meaning "what for what"),indicates a more-or-less equal exchange or substitution of goods or services. English speakers often use the term to mean "a favor for a favor" and the phrases with almost identical meaning include: "what for what", "give and take", "this for that", and "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours"; or Caveat emptor, "Let the buyer beware".

Brother OldSoul ... everything in my being, believes you taught on this, in a different capacity than above.

Even though we're old now, i believe one of us can remember ... and help the other one remember too ...

I'm gonna remember what you taught on ... how to help you remember ... 'cause i know it's in my mind.

I'm gonna remind you, and then you're gonna say ... "Ohhh Yeaaaaaa ... okay ... we did have that class!" ...

Just give me a minute ... or two ...

Love You!
