Latin For A Tee Shirt.

 
 
Reply Thu 18 Mar, 2010 02:29 am
Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone can help with the following. Myself and some friends are away on a dance weekend in May and are having some T shirts printed. The slogan we are thinking of is as follows.
WE CAME, WE DRANK, WE DANCED
BUT MAYBE NOT IN THAT ORDER
Is there anyone out there who could translate the slogan into Latin? any help would be great.
Many thanks in advance
Steve.

Perhaps he prefers a language that is pronounced phonetically.

You do realize that puns (i.e. the double meaning of the word "came") don't translate into other languages, right?

Never thought of that.
You've got a dirty mind, eb.
Kudos.

@George,
Many thanks George, much appreciated. Yes it is a pun and yes a target rich environment!!!. Whilst on the subject can anyone out there translate into latin the phrase "The devil made me do it". Once again many thanks.
Regards Steve.
