Bit of Latin.
Does it mean: Don't let the b*****ds grind you down?

Bit of Latin. Does it mean: Don't let the b*****ds grind you down? Absolutely  Although I don't think it translates directly. |

First time I heard it was when one of the old hands at work said it to me as a young apprentice about 30 years ago.
Do you know what I never will let them either, speak your mind and if they hold it against me I'll be able to hold my head high.
To quote the words of Paul Anka and to me the BEST song lyric ever:
For what is a man, what has he got if not himself then he has not.
To say the things he truely feels and not the words of on who kneels.
