Took it directly from my Oxford dictionnary ;D

cryptolalia - scientific word for twin-speak ((language that twins often make up when they are babies, but most of them eventually forget it after learning "real" language))
ergo - always wondered what this mean after reading this fanfic, now I know, it means "therefore" XD

Ergo is directly taken from the latin language. As a lover of the latin language, how about some more that are often used!!! non sequitur; literally means 'it does not follow.' basically used when something is completely unrelated to what came before it. Such as we're in a discussion about agriculture, and someone says 'I once found two prizes in my cereal.' ad hoc; literally means 'to this'. Takes on the meaning 'for a specific purpose' 'Lorem ipsum... etc'; i cannot give an actual translation here, but if you see this it usually is web designers saying 'text should go here.' It's pretty much meaningless, but was originally in text by Cicero called 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum.' (The extremes of good and evil.) The entire phrase is "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet." (Too tired to translate, can't remember subjunctives that well anyhow. That and I think I'm missing a chunk of the text here.) et cetera; literally means 'and otherwise, and so on.' (That's how we use it in english too.) It's two words. abbreviation etc. et al; literally means 'and others'. Shorted form of et alius/alia. E pluribus unum. literally means, 'out of many, one.' Is printed on US currency. Never been quite sure what it's supposed to mean... caveat emptor; literally means 'may the buyer beware.' ....can't think of anything else right now. Will add anything when i can think of something ><

I found this word to be funny, somehow Octogenarian: a person between ages 80 and 90. it also reminded me of the the infamous "jokes" made by Hakase in 5th movie.... boy, were those bad.... with the whole age joke...
