MORT AUX VACHES!

Having read E. E. Cummings since my high school days I know a smattering of French words and phrases, most of which were purposely bastardized by the poet and wordsmith.

He would turn phrases such as Honi soit qui mal y pense, a French maxim used as the motto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter meaning "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it", into his own idiolaliac wordplay, honey swoRkey mollypants. Yes, the "R" was supposed to be capitalized in the middle of "swoRkey".

Petite guerre (petty warfare) and merde (shit) were others that I picked up from Cummings.

By the by...his voice is featured in a new Volvo commercial spot imploring the view to "follow no one." But enough of my prattling.

MORT AUX VACHES!
