Latin Scholar Needed

[willow_25]

As I'm sitting here being a massive slacker, it occurred to me that it would be funny to put "I slack (or procrastinate) therefore I am" on a t-shirt.  In Latin, of course.  So, if anyone on my flist can do the translation for me, I will even send you a shirt of your own.

I don't know what slack or procrastinate would be, but "therefore I am" is "ergo sum"

I grabbed my old latin textbook and the closest thing to slack is "delay" which would be "cunctatio". I think that's the right conjugation for it as well, but you may want a second opinion on that.

I like that idea

How about a shirt that says:
"I wanted to get 'I slack, therefor I am', but I never got around to translating it into Latin."

Then you'd capture jokes.

Well, procrastinate is from Latin roots so I suppose you could mangle Latin into Procrastino ergo sum.
