Vidi, Vici, Veni


I came, I squinted, I conquered! See, 4 years of Latin sure pays off!

Not in the order which he has it. And it depends on the
alternate English meaning of "came" to translate the same in Latin. I
*don't* know Latin (except enough to recognize the warping of the
traditional saying). :-)

The way it is written is considered to be slang for
I saw her and convinced her to have sex.

See:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...C+Vici%2C+Veni.

"I saw, I conquered, I came.

I saw her/him, I had sex with them, I ejaculated.

Person 1: How did it go last night?
Person 2: Vidi, Vici, Veni.
Person 1: Glad you finally got some action..."
