Do you happen to know a Latin phrase, with a meaning along the lines of:
"What I said is what I said" ? It may have been used in the USA and/or Britain at the end of legal document(s) [contracts? wills?], to signify that nothing is to be added thereto, and/or that the foregoing language is complete, and not subject to addition or interpretation.
@jlpj,
I don't know. Proofreaders use "
stet" meaning 'let it stand'. I bet lawyers have found something better.
@jlpj,
It is common, at the end of affidavits, to state, "further affiant sayeth not," which isn't Latin (it's hardly English). I'm not familiar with any phrase appended to the end of a contract that signifies that it's complete. If you were entering into a contract with Warner Bros., I suppose it might say "T-t-t-that's all, folks!"
Stumble It!
