Gaius Octavius Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I firmly believe that The Augusta deserves a special title - and I am unanimous in this. Something like 'Dominatrix' 'or 'Amoratrix'. This is a democracy ( ), so let's hear suggestions from you lot. I shall be very severe with those of you who don't respond.

Nephele Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Dominatrix? Does she have a bullwhip and stiletto heels? Seriously, "The Augusta" is a title itself, carrying dignity and merit. And, inarguably, our Augusta wears it very well. But if I had to pick out something additional, I'd probably choose: "Manchester Maven." For those who don't know what "maven" means, it's Yiddish for: "an expert; a really knowledgeable person; a good judge of quality; a connoisseur." -- Nephele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I vote for "Res ipsa loquitur" ... it speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Manicus Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 How would one say in Latin "She who throws rocks" or "Whistle blower" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 How would one say in Latin "She who throws rocks" or "Whistle blower" That's great G-Man! I go for 'Whistle Blower'. Thanks for half of the answer, Big A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed where I come from Asc - 'Greater Manchester' - although I use it with some degree of irony. I am a Cheshire lass through and through, but they have now taken me out of the county of my birth and put me into an administrative expression. Unfortunately, however, I now live in a Manchester postcode. Is there no end to my troubles....? (You probably have to be from Cheshire to understand my angst about this). As for a title - I am quite happy to remain an aedile. Marcus, my hero, was one of the best, you know.... And if I was designated a goddess (the only title that is fitting) it would give you all such inferiority complexes that I would go insane with guilt But seriously - thanks for the kind thoughts and words, friends.

Gaius Octavius Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Since a goddess is the only thing that will satisfy her , we'll have to come up with a goddess. Hera springs to mind. One of you 'Latin' types will have to do the foot work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I've got it! I've got it! I've got it! HECATE!!! I researched it. Take my word. I'm not lying about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hecate? Surely not. Unless you want to sacrifice puppies to the Augusta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back to the thread where she was congratulated on becoming one of the 12 Patricii! In her own words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Can we sacrifice kittens instead? Afterall, cats have no redeeming value whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
