latin professor tried to explain the difference between ille/illa/illud and iste/ista/istud by saying “If you say ‘illum’ you mean ‘that man’, but if you say ‘istum’ you mean that motherfucker’ before gasping, covering his mouth, and whispering “I forgot I can’t say that that until I get tenure”
different professor for latin 201. she asked if we remembered the difference between “ille” and “iste” and 80% of the class nodded sagely and went “motherfucker”
