Facio pupas
-
Latin, I make dolls
or alternatively, I do little girls
Originating in a Latin Bowl type event now infamous in Latin clubs purportedly across the nation, the scene begins in a [quiet room], wherein a panel of judges, and three team, one [from Nebraska], one from Missouri i think, and one from Virginia.
Judges ask a question that has now been lost to time.
All three teams stare a each other, none knowing a definate answer.
One student from the [Nebraskan] team buzzes in, and everyone stares at him, mostly because he was chosen for his ability to occupy a chair, not to answer questions.
Student: [Facio pupas]? intended to mean I make dolls, which was wrong anyway.
Everyone, including the judges, burst into laughter, all except the stick-up-their-bum Virginians, who are all [indignant] at the thought of humor in a classroom setting.
Everyone immediately heard the students answer as the more common translations I do little girls.
Now, in any Latin-related setting, answering a question with Facio pupas? is the quivelent of I dont know.
