#Neo-Latin
Said like a true neoliberal (from the Latin, “neo-“ = agrees with, “-liberal” = my mom).

Society needs an AI that can generate text in the style of an obscure Neo-Latin treatise, you know

9/10 The relationship with Latin America is being reshaped and history matters here (Guatemala '54, Chile '73, Panama '89). The U.S. track record of "liberation" producing democracy is... not strong. Latin Americans remember. The neo-imperialist tone may fuel resentment and undermine US legitimacy.

Comes straight from the Latin. “Neo” = “I hate,” “liberal” = “my mom.”

Ah of course from the Latin, Neo- (doesn’t) and -liberal (hate Jews), yes yes makes sense.

People do not talk enough about the fact that the Neo-Punic translation of Latin Imperator is a loan from Numidian

(Lepcis Magna Neo-Punic 14: mynkd, Numdian MNKDH)

Chris Celenza, in his book about the lost neo-Latin literature of the Renaissance made this point in the last chapter, which was essentially a call to the old guard of Renaissance intellectual historians to recognize that there are other ways of doing things. They didn't take it well.

i suspect normal 27 year olds are not spending their sunday afternoons hunched over a latin novel from the 1640s nor are they getting in fights over email with their mothers about the usage of the term “neo-latin.” nevertheless that is what i am doing today

Gotta promise to invade at least one Latin American country in order to get the neo-con voters on board in 2028.

Looks like El Salvador is the perfect country for this.

I'm old enough that I took Latin in high school.

I learned that DEI means "of God."

As in "Filius Dei," "Agnus Dei," "Verbum Dei."

Seems like something the bible thumpers and wannabe Christians could get behind. But I guess the neo-racism is more important to them.

Isn’t it “great”?

All the rightoids, racists, evangelicals, Zionists, RW nationalists, free market capitalists, imperialists, colonizer white countries, the Neo cons, Neo libs and many libs all doing a high five dance on another Latin country?

Round of applause for the colonizers everyone.

If you hear Mellon, think Coolidge - Andrew Mellon was Coolidge’s Treasury Secretary.

And Trump is pursuing an absolutely Coolidge/Mellon policy - not just with tariffs, but now also with its Neo-Roosevelt Corollary in Latin America

IIRC, it was one of those ex-confeds who fled to latin america in an attempt to make a neo-slave state by occupying and then overthrowing one of the nascent latin american states in central America. The epitome of slaver imperialist ancestry lol.

During the Italian Renaissance, the neo-Latin word for potassium was kalium, if that helps.

My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”

in fact the core of the problem with the trads is that think they are PURER Catholics than the rest of us because they favor eliminating a lot of 20th century reforms like Vatican II and returning to a like neo-medieval practice, which is why they love the Latin Mass and are fighting to restore it

escalator itself is neo-Latin, hence why escalate has that old timey feel. but nope, barely more than a century old

Kinda feels like someone fucked up calling it Neo-Latin instead of Nova Latin
May 25, 2026 at 7:00 PM
Also the Neo Geo was huge in Latin America because they know what's up

“Silicon” is an early 19th century coinage of an earlier coinage *silicium*, on the model of *carbon* and *boron*. To coin an adjective from the neo-Latin *silicon* would yield *siliconicus*, ≈

"I was ill/so I sought a doctor.
Now I've been poked/prodded/jabbed/grabbed,
By scalding/icy/pointy/heavy/forcefull fingers.
And feel worse than before."
