Calling for Lounge Latin/heraldry speaker to do the lingo thing for my motto

&, yes, I know that "heraldry" is not a language.

So I've settled (at least for tonight) on my heraldic motto as: (ta-da) MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR.

I could have gone for, SHORT FAT OLD.

* Or, MORE SINNED AGAINST THAN SINNING.

* Or, I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS.

and among many others, got this:

Link: https://funny.allwomenstalk.com/funny-latin-phrases-youll-benefit-from-learning/

1. "Non torsii subligarium" means "Don't Get Your Knickers in a Twist".




Or, from this site: https://latin-phrases.co.uk/quotes/

"sane, paululum linguae latinae dico" means "Sure, I speak a little Latin".


And, this one from very ancient Republicans:

"exitus acta probat" menas "The result validates the deeds".

Couldn't stand the taste at the first and only sip. But as a fringe (not real) post-Hippie (the '70s, not the '60s), I *did* have one full evening drinking mezcal and saw colors and the next morning drinking WATER saw colors again. And that was it for me.

My drinking experience is like gambling where you win one time and that one time fuels scores of times losing. Iow, it's not really socializing, since 90% of the time there's nobody to have a good conversation with, but as in one of the Japanese religions where wine is used to meditate with, it's mostly meditation time for me with lots and lots of Good Ideas!1 Besides now with phones it's all staring and swiping at the phone. So why go when this can be done at home? Well, the music in the background is something.
