How do you say "Don't let the bastards grind you down in Latin?"
Many variants on the web for this phrase. Here are a couple more:
Illegitimis non carborundum (origin and explanation from Roman Law)

From Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale"
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

typo: "...not REALLY a Latin word."
But I like it for a new Atwood premise "The Dentist's Tale," don't you? ;-)
"Illegitimis non carborundum" is the phrase I'd seen most often but it
is pseudo-Latin (thanks for setting a lot of us straight on this,
Juggler-ga and Columbia.edu). Really some very interesting research
chasing the origins here. It's amazing this phrase has slid by in
many corrupted forms, finding its way onto signage, etc. I think it
even made it past a few priests.
Lots of variations on "corundum" too, but Tamil, Hindi, and Sanskrit
are *way* out of my league.
"The term corundum only sounds like Latin. The mineral is found in Sri
Lanka [new improved postcolonial name for Ceylon] and parts of India,
and its name in English comes from the Tamil word "kuruntam."
...Corundum: Hindi "kurund" or the Tamil "kurundam," describing a
native stone of India.
...Corundum is from the Sanskrit word for "kurivinda."
Ow, my head hurts,

Thank you very much...you have saved me from extreme error...
As noted above, though, carborundum is not real a Latin word.

I should also note that there's a popular quote:
"Nil carborundum illegitimi"
"Don't let the bastards grind you down."
This appears on various web pages:
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22Nil+carborundum+illegitimi%22&btnG=Google+Search
HOWEVER, this is a fake Latin quotation. See:
