: : Does anyone, besides Colin Dexter who used it in his book THE REMORSEFUL DAY, know the meaning og the Latin phrase: "Nunquam ubi sub ubi!"? Thank-you for any assistance.>>>

: It's a Latin joke:
: Numquam= never
: ubi= where
: sub= under

: So when it's translated and sounded out, you say "Never wear underwear." Get it? Another variation is "Semper ubi sub ubi", meaning "Always wear underwear".
