Here’s are more legalese artifacts for your personal wonderment, from the ever intriguing Black’s Dictionary of Law 1891 edition:
I wonder what the term for destroying, ravaging or laying waste the world would be, perhaps: Depopulatio Globalagrorum?
Perhaps some sarcastic biting from whoever came up with this one, in the L. sarcasmus sense of the word: “a sneer, jest, taunt, mockery," from sarkazein “to speak bitterly, sneer," literally "to strip off the flesh," from sarx (genitive sarkos) “flesh," properly "piece of meat," traditionally from PIE root twerk-tuerk-“to cut"
Were there also Womantheoffs back in the Saxon day?
To the remaining Acephali still left the world: What was the one substance in Christ and one nature?
Amens to that.
Who determined whether an animal is irrational or not? And can animals engage in ratiocination and/or irratiocination? Perhaps the infamous animal trials were used to determine such.
I’d like to say that I get this aphorism, but I don’t.
How much was the fine?
…
Often I lay awake at night and wonder who my great-great grandfathers’s brothers were:
While culling the above definitions, I flashed that some A.I. has already extracted the archaic legalese found in Black’s Dictionary of Law and is storing it in a Data Lake for later use when the world court is fully transhuman, if it isn’t already.
Best,
