This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If a professor doesn't know the words deus ex that's sad

If someone pronounced it as Day-os-ex I would also need at least a few seconds to get it because I personally use the latin pronunciation.

"D-E-U-S-E-X. Get your minds out of the gutter." - Anon, six months from this post, in the shower

Anon was clearly not in choir. Any singer would know it's "deh oos", not "day us".

Still sounds like "day o' sex", but from Northern England or something

If a British professor doesn't know his basic Latin, that's even was.

Deus Ex Machina is like one of the most commonly known Latin phrases, along with Veiny Viny Vici

It's veni, vidi, vici, not veiny viny vici.

To stay on topic, want to Vici my Veiny Viny?

[–] don@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Do I want to wici your weiny winy?

Could have said "Meet 'N' Fuck Kingdom"

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

You should’ve said Deus formerly known as Twitter

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This doesn’t even make sense.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It does if you assume anon doesn't know latin pronunciation.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

(And the rest of the class have no idea about that “old” game)
