Seen in the signature of a Slashdot comment:

Sed quis debuget ipsum debugatorem?

I was amused. (Though I wonder whether ipsos debugatores wouldn't have been more appropriate, given the original.)

The borrowing of 'debug' into Latin reminds me of a time a friend borrowed "bug" into ancient Greek (with romanized spelling). He wrote:

anoetoi buges

which I think would be:

ἀνόητοι βύγες

Heh.

Yes, it would be, probably.

And the nominative would be βύξ (bux < bug-s), I suppose.

And that reminds me of the time I coined the word φάχνω in modern Greek, which means "to send a fax"... after the pattern of ψάχνω έψαξα "to look for", so έφαξα éfaxa would be "I sent a fax".
