<p>Great username, armavirumque. Subtle but erudite.</p>
<p>:) haud equidem tali me dignor honore</p>
<p>Venus always was too modest for my taste. Considering the boldly broad nature of your username, I'm surprised we didn't hear "Sum pius(a?) armavirumque!" :)</p>
<p>That username was the first thing that came to mind after I forgot the password for my old one, which happened to be "nonnobis".</p>
<p>im hoping im not the only one who'se oblivious...but rather, im the only bold enough to make myself look stupid and say, qu'est ce que ca veux dire?</p>

<p>a. flame war
b.obscurity
c.random inanity</p>
<p>but this one goes to
" qu'est ce que ca veux dire?"</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>"armavirumque"</p>
<p>Que Magnifique(French)</p>

<p>tres bien. j'ai recu un deux sur la AP francais. tres bien!</p>
<p>Haha, et mon amie aussi. Je crois que c'</p>
<p>mais non, vraiment, c'est quoi "arma virumque?" Quelque chose latin?</p>
<p>Il para</p>
<p>Alors le mot "armavirumque", c'est quelque chose de grand importance? Comme inopa, je vais savoir ce qu'il veut dire!!! Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui sait? :confused:</p>
<p><em>We're all just wondering what "armavirumque" means</em> :D</p>
<p>Arma virumque are the first 2 words of the Aeneid, from which "haud equidem tali me dignor honore" also comes.</p>
<p>The Aeneid begins Arma virumque cano, which means "I sing of arms and a man". Arma=weapons, arms, or perhaps war by metonymy, virum=and + man, cano=I sing.</p>
<p>Ah bon, tout c'est clair maintenant!</p>
<p>Thanks, for the explanation. :p</p>
<p>For good measure, "haud equidem tali me dignor honore" is what Venus (disguised as a mortal) says to her son Aeneas when he recognises her as a goddess: "I am not worthy of such an honour." Incidentally, a few lines above Aeneas says "o quam te memorem virgo", which you might recognise from Eliot.</p>
<p>Hurray for thread hijacking!</p>
<p>Haha I was debating the choice between French and Latin, neither of which I understand a syllable of :D</p>
<p>Go for French!!! :)</p>
