Jumping on the “my life is thoroughly improved now” bandwagon.

Here’s a fun one that I use a lot because I’m pretentious –
q.e.d.: “quod erat demonstrandum,” or “which was to be demonstrated.” Use at the end of mathematical proofs, or to sound cool when you’ve laid out a bunch of evidence and basically won an argument. :]

Pfft we shorten that down to I.a.n at our school (I’m A Nerd)

[Jeff_Wheeler]

We use q.e.d., too. Only when we want to feel arrogant, though.

@kdd

i think that tip is useful, thanks nokrev.

Ditto… that’s got to be the most useful post I’ve read in months. I always wondered about that nokrev. Thank you a bunch.

[Jeff_Wheeler]

Haha… I guess I’ve qualified myself somehow.

Never assume anything…

Oh oh! i learnt that one in Senior Maths. Never got to use it much though, cause i could never actually come to any mathematical proof…

Didnt know kirupa had turned into “kirupa.com - Shocked Flash Resource for Tutorials, Downloads, Support, Links, and waste of time Latin Abbreviations.” But haha! awsome post nokrev!

oh this one cracked me up:

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabris, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.

[ot]why is it when you write in Latin you feel compelled to put it in italics??[/ot]
