Oops, meant to add this before I hit post.

From English/Latin Breakup by Shakespearessis - perhaps my favorite:
"English desperately tried to embrace the other language with its unwieldy spate of jargon. "Latin," it wailed, "You can't do this to me, yo! Just because I've taken a - a little bit of German, but surely-"

"It's not German," Latin said coldly, withdrawing from the sunlight and English's embrace into the darkness of library, sullen. "It's not even Greek - I've been with Greek! It's the slang. HOW COULD YOU?"

Gives a whole new light to those years of HS Latin...
