Hey everyone,
Phrase :Raise hell with words.
Context : I'm president of a debating society in my college and decided that it'd be great if we could have a tagline.
I came across the phrase from virgil,also quoted by signmund freud -
'Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo',which I believe transalates to
'If I cannot move Heaven, I will raise Hell.'
I loved the last phrase -and since we're debaters,'raise hell with words'-is actually quite applicable to us.If it can expressed in a way where it becomes a pun-which can mean either create chaos (hell)with words and also influence (move) hell with words that'd be amazing!
I've heard that latin needs to be gender specific-but since this tagline is one for a group or a society,does it matter?If so,it would be alright if it's masculine.
Thank you!
