Robin D. Laws writes:
English scholar Christopher Frayling, author of an epic biography of Sergio Leone and recent recipient of a knighthood. For his knightly crest, he chose the Latin motto:
Perge, Scelus, Mihi Diem Perficias
The official translation of the motto from the College of Heralds reads as follows:
Proceed, varlet, and let the day be rendered perfect for my benefit.
But the intended rendition would instead be:
Go ahead, punk, make my day.
Excellent, isn't it?
