> [@Dr.Drake](#): > > This says “He always farts the silly woman.” I think you want _pedita semper ridicula_. Thank you. I knew better than to trust Google’s translation. If I ran it Latin to English it said “feet will always be funny.” But I didn’t have anything better. ---

No worries—it’s important to be able to discuss farts in Latin! I’m not sure if _pedita_ is the best of the possible words, but maybe someone with better Latin than mine will let us know. ---
