Latin translation required
« on: November 13, 2009, 12:01:44 AM »
Can anyone give me the correct latin translation for the phrase 'Fur coat, no knickers'? My basic research came up with 'Reno amiculum, careo interula'

I'll tell all if the planned wheeze comes off.

I agree as far as 'interula', though I'm struggling to find many references to female underwear.  It seems they had only the one word for undergarments for both sexes which is 'interula'.

Trousers is easy enough, and still familiar, 'Pantalones' or, for women, 'Pantalones de Senora'.  'Interula de senora' isn't good Latin but might better mean knickers which for me are definitively female.

I look forward to hearing the story.

By a strange quirk my Step-mother's uncle owns one of Lady Docker's fur coats that she gave him years ago. They were great pals and he spent time with her in (IIRC) Majorca.

You dirty old man GC,

Alternatively, I dont know if there is a latin word for beaver, let alone one that is undressed!

Going Commando.  That was a challenge as they didn't have commandoes.

'iens to order' might fit the bill.

What we need to do next is get a complete thread going in Latin.
