What's "Molon Labe?"

[dwalk]

Pardon my ignorance.

   

   I've encountered this phrase on some other self-defense boards, but have never seen a translation into American-English.

   Thanks.

I've always wondered about that phrase.

[dwalk]

So it was Greek! I would have guessed Roman.

   

   Now you know why I didn't fare so well in tenth-grade Latin.

   

   Thanks.

Hi Dwalk, Latin is A dead language. The Spartans Well, they are dead as well. Let us endeavor to do better! As well as keep the thought alive.

I used the term only today with an opposing attorney who was holding what I knew to be the equivalent of "a busted flush."  He didn't have a clue as to what I meant.

RS, Is that like "So sue me!"

   

   when I try that, it seems to make them hang around long enough...to fill the inside straight on fifth street!
