Cod Latin

I find 'Cod Latin' quite amusing and inventive, so I'll start you off with these three:

In loco parentis: My dad's a train driver.

Sodomy non sapiens: Buggad if I know.

Illegitimi non carborundum: Don't let the bastards grind you down

Over to you, Ladies and Gents.

cod + latin leads me to ancient Roman fish sauce = garum

Hm, this thread is already the 7th hit for "Cod Latin" on google, so I guess the phrase isn't widely known.

There is an explanation here:

nil desperandum -go to the bathroom before we leave

just wanted to get caruthers' take.

are these commonly used latin phrases that are mis translated, or do you invent both sides of the equation?

Apparently the Latin for "I will buttfuck you in the mouth" is "No Matches Found"

Either/or, really. That said, the genuine Latin with spoof translation probably has the greater potential to amuse.
