English is very easy compared to other languages which is why I get pissed that I learned German when every german speaks fucking english....fml.

Pudor quod ( what the fuck in Latin lol)

This performance should totally have been released on DVD instead of the one on the Stripped DVD. Eddie's on much better form here.

@SixamCanoscan Nope, no joke. Of course, I taught myself Latin after having already acquired an intermediate command of three modern Romance languages, but the declension system at least still had quite the learning curve to it. If you think Latin is tough, try Ancient Greek. It took me even longer to really start getting comfortable with that one.
The [gibberish] is german/ french...lo

Audes linguam latinam deridere? Te occidam!
Just kidding. This was hilarious! Reminds me a bit of a scene from Monty Python. "Romanes eunt domus," LOL!
The sad thing is I actually love all those declensions and conjugations! They're so much more concise and efficient than our clunky English, with its heavy reliance on word order and prepositions.
