The words right and rectum have a common origin. Right comes from Proto-Germanic *rehtaz ('straight; right; just'). This word shared a common Proto-Indo-European ancestor with Latin rēctus ('straight; right; just'), from which the medical term rectum ('straight terminal part of the large intestine') was derived. The infographic shows more.

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Ennius Propaganda:

The man who started it all... wrote the first Latin epic in dactylic hexameter (fuck Saturnians, all my homies hate Saturnians)

Among his many contributions, wrote a minor didactic work on where to find good fish

Was buddies with Scipio Africanus

Lucan Propaganda

Really said "what if the Aeneid was more fucked up" and honestly, respect

Every line of the Bellum Civile goes So Fucking Hard. The most metal piece of poetry out there

It's got something for everyone: witches, necromancy, archaeology, blood and guts, aristeia, ghost messengers, siege warfare, dubious protagonists, Ptolemies...

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

#try reading it with an english pronunciation rather than a latin one. you'll enjoy it #today penis is in obscenis.......... #tagamemnon #latin #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Sulpicia Propaganda:

Sulpicia does more in 40 lines than most poets do in thousands

If you don't vote for the only female poet of whom we have any significant chunks, you're sexist. I don't make the rules

She is so fucking funny, you guys. I laugh out loud every time I read her

Terence Propaganda

Terence's Latin is really conversational and pleasant, giving a really cool look into everyday speech

He was a really important school author for centuries, up there with Vergil and Cicero

Surprisingly influential on Christian writing, including Augustine, Hrosvitha, and Erasmus, which is a testament to his style and his discussions of human behavior

I think one of the most beautiful things about learning an ancient or dead language, is the pure humanity thereof.

You could do or learn something more functional, sure, but you're taking time to understand the essence of a people long left behind in time.

These people, now dead for centuries or even millennia, wrote things down and in doing so, said:

"I was here, remember me"

And here, eras later, we take time to decipher, read, and understand it, to say into the void of their existence:

"We see you, we know you, you are still alive."
