Utech Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: Looking for a good name for a Martial Art "Effe|mina|tus -a -um" Means "effeminate" and is insulting. "Fe|mina|rum" would be "Women's" so its right. There's nothing insulting about "effeminate". It's primary meaning is: Having qualities or characteristics more often associated with women than men. If you're concerned, though, "Effeminatus" can be translated as "feminine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

input.jack Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: Looking for a good name for a Martial Art I think Ed Coll meant that "effiminate" was considered insulting by the speakers of Latin. Id have called it Cestus Pulchra, myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but no one in the group speaks Latin and even knows much about it (and I don't think they'd care if they did) so it's really not an important detail to dwell on.

In the World of the Net all details are important and to be dwelled upon at great length - it is The Way of the Pedant. It is written. It is known.
