Nagaro

[crooki]

As Nagaro is the ONLY colour - could we have a separate forum for the deserning audui driver

[doeboy]

But you could only have 1 viewing it at anyone time. Any more and all that ego would crash the server!

[DavidT]

It would help if you could spell it correctly

www.nagaroaudui.com

or even this site http://www.nogaro.org/ which is a shrine to all things Nogaro, and even has a section on why Nogaro blue S4's are the fastest

...but we don't need a website to tell us that

Ummm.... a few questions:

(a) What is "Nagaro"?
(b) What does "deserning" mean?
(c) What is an "audui"?

Answers on a postcard please to the Welsh Education Authority ....

(a) Never AGAin ROund here?
(b) Pass - possibly slang originating from Des O'Connor?
(c) the (vulgar) Latin third person subjunctive preterite of the verb auduire, which means "to nearly hear"

"to nearly hear"

One wonders how one can "nearly hear" a sound ... one either hears a sound (however quiet, or loud) or one doesn't. How would one know if one had "nearly" heard something ... ? Discuss ....

Well the correct Latin verb would be "quasi audire", but I do believe that the insertion of the "u" in certain parts of Roman battered Britain was an inflection in the common usage of the language to mean "nearly".

It was typical of the lazy habits of the "common people" which became known as "vulgar Latin". How they managed to distinguish between the subjunctive mood and the indicative tense is beyond me, particularly when faced by a Roman soldier brandishing a sword and yelling at him - I think a more common usage of "non audui" (I am not quite sure if I heard) would more likely to have been replaced by the clearer "what the f**k did you say?!" Latin scholars over the centuries have pondered on the vulgar term which would have been in common usage at the time, but it is believed that the above is a fair rendering of the modern English equivalent...

Now moving on to your more philosophical question - how many words Sir?
