    • How do you say, "Get behind me, Satan", in Ecclesiastical Latin? Please post the phonetic spelling of the pronunciation, too. Thanks.

    • That comes from St. Matthew 16:23.

    So we would use St. Jerome as the canonical text:

    Vade post me Satana.

    Pronounciation just like it looks.  Accent on first syllable except that I guess Satana would have the accent on the last syllable, since it's from the Greek, but I'm not 100% sure.

    a - like in "father"
    o - like in "ocean"
    e - close to the e in "they" (but a bit shorter)
    v - like "v" in very (with ecclesiastical pronounciation)

    • Someone getting on your nerves?  Need something new to yell at NYC taxi drivers?  I got flipped the bird and cut-off for the first time in a long while yesterday.  The phrase will come in hand.
