Dog Latin is usually a humorous device mocking scholarly seriousness. It can also mean a poor-quality attempt at writing genuine Latin. History Examples of this predate even Shakespeare, whose 1590s play, ''Love's Labour's Lost'', includes a reference to dog Latin: Thomas Jefferson mentioned dog Latin by name in 1815: Examples * ''Illegitimi non carborundum'', interpreted as 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'. * ''Semper ubi sub ubi'' is unintelligible as Latin, but translates word for word as 'always where under where', interpreted as 'always wear underwear'. * A once-common schoolboy doggerel which, though very poor Latin, would have done a tolerable job of reinforcing the rhythms of Latin hexameters: :Insofar as this specimen can be translated, it is as follo ...
