It's a shark is probably something like:
Tibor est.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

You're really just trying to make us look over-educated, aren't you?

There is no such thing as a handy Latin phrase. It's poor communication skills to insult someone that doesn't know they're being insulted.

I had a latin phrase book that had things like that in.
It really cracked me up.

There was one for the photocopier being broken, which I put on our photocopier/ printer/ folder of huge sheets of computer paper when it died - usually every Friday when people were trying to get merchandising packs out in the post.

Okay, I was 19... and I did have it on there in English too.
One of our Directors saw it while at the drinks machine (next to it) and that was one of the reasons I was completely spoiled by top management in that job. Didn't help my career, but I got to do an awful lot of fun stuff around it.

When I left, I made a sign for my favourite IT bloke (handmade and very smart I have to say) with purgamentum init, exit purgamentum on it. Very appropriate for the system of recording data we had - if I do say so myself.

Not exactly handy, but these are some of the ones I like -

-------------
"Vi veri veniversum vivus vici" - "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe" - V For Vendetta
-------------
"fiat lux" - "let light be made", or, more commonly - "let there be light" - Often seen on Masonic Lodge seals
-------------
"in hoc signo vinces" - "by this sign conquer"

"Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomine Tuo da gloriam" - "Not unto us, Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory." - Both of these phrases are seen on some modern Knight Templar banners
-------------
"memento mori" - "remember that you will die"
-------------
"Sit vis vobiscum." - "May the Force be with you."
-------------
"Veni, Vidi, volo in domum redire." - "I came, I saw, I want to go home."
-------------
"sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc" - "we gladly feast on those who would subdue us" - family motto
-------------
"te audire no possum, musa sapienum fixa est in aura" - "I'm sorry, i can't hear you, i have a banana stuck in my ear"
-------------
Semper Fidelis - a way of life
-------------

"I can play dominos better than youuuuuuu cannnnnnn"

I have no idea what it means but I used to hear the priest sing it during mass every Sunday when I was growing up.

My high school theatre troupe's motto was Excellencia consuetudo est, or "excellence is habit." Pretty sure I'm misspelling the second word though.

Romanes Eunt Domus

Years ago one of the posters on a paintball board had a long latin phrase in his sig. Eventually I googled it and PM'd him on the humorous translation, he said it had been there for years, but I was the first one to pick up on it.

magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.

Sir John, your erudition is much welcomed here.

Thank you, also, for sharing your familial crest and motto.
