BBC - h2g2 - Handy Latin Phrases:

"Subucula tua apparet - Your slip is showing"

Comments:
Man, I totally took Latin in high school for that third reason. I was (and still kind of am) charmed by the idea of being able to say silly things in a language no one speaks. I'll have to look it up, but my favorite was when I found out how to say someone had 'scanty furniture in the attic,' by which one of course implies that they are stupid. Only in Latin. But I don't remember how to say it anymore, which may make me look even dumber. Not sure.
