1. The present day
   Yesterday
2. Seize the day!
   Dyed carpet

You probably knew this one. It's popular on signs and T-shirts, just like "Keep Calm and Carry On."

1. Are you present?
   Are you angry?
2. Not you, too?
   Have you eaten?

"Et tu, Brute?" was Caesar's famous (but apocryphal) statement to his friend Brutus in the Senate, when the Senators turned against him and killed him. Caesar was evidently surprised and saddened to find his supposed friend among the assassins.

1. Good-looking
   A good place
2. Good faith
   A bone for a dog

You might hear this as a plural. "Bona fides" often mean someone's credentials, or proof that they are qualified to do something.

1. Always faithful
   True only to one
2. Always forgiving
   High fidelity

This is, of course, the motto of the US Marine Corps. It's sometimes shortened to "Semper fi."

1. I came, I saw, I conquered
   I see, I want, I take
2. He said, she said, we said
   God sees everything

This was Caesar's brief report to the Senate about the battle of Zela. If he'd lived in the age of texting, he would have added, "NBD."

1. Famous woman
   Older sister
2. Stepmother
   School of origin

According to Merriam-Webster, this translates to "bounteous or fostering mother." Which is certainly a romantic way to look at the school that educated you!

1. And the other way around
   Two vices
2. So I've read
   So it is written

This is something you say when an opposite is equally true, or something works both ways. "I house-sit for her when she travels, and vice versa."

1. A new leaf
   A second self
2. A family member
   This is great chocolate!

"Ego" is Latin for "I," so "alter ego" is a second self, a different identity. (Excuse the in-joke about chocolate, but you'll understand if you've had the excellent, if pricey, brand called "Alter Eco" for its environmental standards).

1. A distant relative
   Something lovely
2. Prior to the war
   After noon

This term, sometimes spelled as one word, comes up a lot in discussions of the American Civil War. If you visit the South, you might see historic "antebellum" homes.

1. By the seas
   By air
2. To the highest
   To the point of nausea

This is a blunt way of saying someone's gone way too far, usually in repeating something. "He went on and on, ad nauseam, about how well the date went."

1. I am
   You are
2. That is
   And your point is?

You're probably used to seeing this one as "i.e." Generally, it's used to rephrase something complicated in a simpler way.

1. Outside
   For example
2. Something unnecessary
   Buy one, get one free

You might be used to seeing this phrase as "e.g." You might refer to "... a dead language, e.g. Latin."

1. Meanwhile ...
   And so on
2. In which case
   Please repeat the question

Abbreviated as "etc.," et cetera" means "and other (similar) things." It's too bad English hasn't adopted the word "cetera" for "various stuff," as it'd be quite useful! "You're fired! Box up all your cetera and go."

1. A penniless person
   A landless person
2. A person who is out of favor
   A person whose voice grates

You might become a persona non grata because of your grating voice. But that seems pretty harsh to us!

1. Always fierce
   Always ready
2. Halfway to heaven
   Strong and loyal

This one is lesser known. It's the motto of the US Coast Guard, the fifth branch of America's armed services.

1. For God's glory
   Endlessly
2. Until nightfall
   Until dawn

"Ad infinitum" means "on and on" or "to infinity." See also "ad nauseam," meaning "To the point of nausea."

1. By sea
   In a beaker or petri dish
2. In one's lifetime
   Vividly or colorfully

Cells act differently "in vitro" -- in a lab setting, petri dish, or test tube -- than they do "in vivo," meaning in living tissue. This is why treatments for disease that are promising in the lab don't always work out in clinical trials.

1. Incarcerated
   Indefinitely
2. In a fantasy world
   In a vacuum

This is a legal term you might see in a will. Public access to a property might be granted "in perpetuum."

1. Cheaters never prosper
   Always ready
2. Thus falls Rome
   Thus always to tyrants

This phrase became notorious when John Wilkes Booth shouted it after shooting Abraham Lincoln. At least, Booth wrote that he did so, in his diary. If no witnesses recalled it, it's likely because there was noise and confusion that would have made it hard to absorb a simple English phrase, much less an unfamiliar foreign-language one.

1. Characters in a play
   Fools
2. People who get dizzy easily
   Drama queens

You'll see "dramatis personae" listed at the beginning of a play's script. Movies have "dramatis personae," too, but that term isn't used.

1. Against the man
   Against all logic
2. About human nature
   Temporarily

An "ad hominem" attack is one that attacks the person, not their work, theory, etc. If you suggest that someone's ideas are invalid because they didn't go to college, that's an ad hominem attack. (Plus, snobbish).

1. From earth to eternity
   More bark, less bite
2. Through difficulties to the stars
   Through fire to the stars

This one might confuse a few people. "Ardua" is related to the English word "arduous," or "very hard." The word for "fire" is "ignis;" it doesn't start with "ar-."

1. Feed me
   My heart
2. My fault
   Sane mind

This one's well-known enough that you'll hear people use it in casual conversation: "Sorry, mea culpa!" (Or rather, you do again now that "my bad!" has finally faded away).

1. Let's not fight
   I forgot the answer
2. I don't want to contest the charges
   I was just pretending

Don't spell this "No lo contendere," as if in Spanish. The "lo" part isn't a pronoun meaning "it." Rather, "Nolo" comes from "nolere," meaning "to wish not." The opposite is "volere," meaning simply "to wish (to)."

1. Embarrassingly
   Secondarily
2. Sufficiently
   Secretly

Roses have a long history of representing secrecy, in more than one culture. Sometimes, confidential documents were sealed with wax on which a rose was imprinted, giving rise to the phrase "under the rose" to mean "secret, restricted or confidential" information.

1. Are you well?
   What is your name?
2. Who benefits?
   (Will you) throw me a bone?

Literally translated, this phrase means "To whom the good?" "Bonus" is the Latin term meaning "good," or here, "benefit." Though not as common in legal circles as "prima facie," it asks the question "Who benefits (from committing a crime)?"

1. A fool
   A rarity or prodigy
2. A sea bird
   A rental chariot

Another way to say "rara avis" (rare bird or oddity) is "cygnus niger," meaning "black swan." These were thought by Europeans not to exist, until they were discovered in parts of Australia and New Zealand.

1. Ladies first
   Beautiful face
2. On the face of it
   Diva or goddess

"Prima facie" is one of many legal terms you'll be seeing in this quiz. Prima facie evidence is strong evidence that tends to prove one's case -- but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll win.

1. A beautiful place
   The case for war
2. Full attack
   Full retreat

You heard this term a lot in the run-up to the Iraq invasion. The Bush administration's "casus belli" relied heavily on WMD, or Weapons of Mass Destruction, that Iraq was said to be in possession of.

1. Love, not hate
   Deeds, not words
2. Trees, not grass
   Just the facts, ma'am

Though we now think of "facts" as pieces of information, in Latin "facere" means "to do or make." "Verba," of course, is easier to translate.

1. Bless you
   I indict you
2. Isn't that wonderful?
   Is that Benedict?

As in modern-day Spanish, "te" is the familiar (friendly) "you." Therefore "benedicite" is a compound word meaning "Bless you."

1. Tyrant
   A terrible year
2. The terrible twos
   Ring of shame

Many people considered 2016 to be this, because of various world events. On his year-end show, comedian John Oliver did a segment that ended with a giant foam "2016" being exploded with dynamite.

1. I try without fear of failure
   I am the sum of my thoughts
2. I think, therefore I am
   I'm thinking about what I'd like to eat

The philosopher Rene Descartes came up with this idea. It was his starting point in untangling the thorny problem of whether we humans can be certain of anything.

1. A lot in a little
   Many are called, few are chosen
2. Confusion and mayhem
   It's crowded in here

This is the unofficial motto pug lovers have given to their favorite dog breed. They're saying the pug packs a lot of great qualities into a small package.

1. The body/facts of the case
   It is finished
2. Loss of blood
   That was delicious

In legal settings, the "corpus delicti" is the body of the case, or its fundamental facts. "Corpus" is, of course, related to English words about the body, like "corpse" and "corporeal."
