Elves are Dicks! (Episode 568: I Need An Adult) - Page 2

So you're saying Black Mage uses elves such as Thief to attract women, and then plunges said elves into said women?

Well, that's an interesting use for 'em.

Example: Dick Greyson. (Sp?) aka the (possibly) original Robin. Notice the lack of pointy ears and "I live on a higher plane than you" snottyness. So, not all Dicks are elves.

No, it's Quid Quo Pro. I'm entirely sure of it.

But anyway, it's good to see Bahamut in a sprite form. I wasn't sure how much of anything useful could've been worked from the extremely large one...

Well. I may have been wrong, but the translation IS what for which. In fact, do to the overall crazyness of latin, the word order may not matter. Yeah, Bahamut is a pretty good looking sprite.

if you want to be a short homocidal black mage, then it's quid quo pro, if you want to be wrong in the usual sense it's quid pro quo, but if you're tryign to say you proved something, then it's qed, or quid erat demonstratum or something along those lines.

No such sources for quid quo pro, which I have never heard/read before. Though it is apparently the title of someone's album.

black mage was having an argument with theif and redmage sometime around the period where they were talking about their team charter and black mage didn't pay attention to politics and when stabbed people to prove his point he would say quid quo pro, hence my previous comment.

edit: strip 291 to be exact, and they are debating the morality of totalarian rule and the suffering of the few yielding the happiness of the many.

umm, its latin; and latin really doesn't have a specified order as it still means the same thing if in the same phrase............But i still prefer Quid pro Quo *rolls off the tongue easier.

It's still the same meaning when you Quo Quid pro, or pro Quo Quid, (well, maybe not on that last triplet might mean which what for, but i doubt it; god i haven't taken a latin class in so long,,,,)

The joke is that Black Mage was on the debate team and never lost because he always won by default, probably from killing the competetion. To hammer home the point that he is not good with debates, he proclaims "quid quo pro" whenever he "wins" an argument even though A) it is the wrong phrase and B) the words he uses aren't even in the order usually seen. He screws up his screw up while screwing up.
