Me neither, Dagi!  ;)  :D

Shasta542:
I think that I knew one Latin word in the phrase and I picked the English one with that word in it.  :P

Kerry:

And the answer is . . . . . .

"I have jerks like you for breakfast"  :o

Thank you to everyone who entered!   :D

And for those of you who may like to impress your friends with your Latin prowess, or perhaps just insult the socks off them, without them even knowing what you said, here are the other translations:

You're dead meat.
Caro putrida es.

You'll never work in this town again.
In hoc oppido nunquam postea operaberis.

You can run, but you can't hide.
Potes currere, sed te occulere non potes.

Guys like you are a dime a dozen.
Capita similia tui aestimantur unius assis.

Read it and weep.
Lege et lacrima.

Don't make me laugh.
Ne feceris ut rideam.

I'm shaking, I'm shaking.
Pavesco, pavesco.

With grateful thanks to Henricus Barbatus (Henry Beard) for his wonderful book "Lingua Latina Multo Pluribus Occasionibus" ("Latin for even more Occasions")

Dagi:
Thanks for the fun, Kerry!  ;D
