Gaudeo te illud de me zogavisse



It is obvious that the translator has no working knowledge of Latin garbage

Translation in from the  Latin  Obesa Cantavit (The fat lady sings.)  Pulle!
(Polly) Visne frustum! (wants a cracker!)   In carcaribus denuo adsumus.
(We are back to square one.) Utinam modo subiunctivo semper male utaris!
(May you always misuse the subjective.)
