Growing up my father would often say "Illigimitus non carborundum" when I was upset. When I asked what it meant, he said, "look it up". When he became ill with Alzheimers disease and could no longer communicate it suddenly became more important to me to know what he meant. The direct translation is, "Don't let the bastards get you down.".
