Yeah the Girls

[Kalias]

I am designing heraldry as a birthday present for my sister and wish to include a Latin phrase as a motto underneath the shield. Her female friends are very important to her so ideally the phrase I would like to use is "Yeah the girls", a common slang phrase here in Australia that essentially means "Love and support the girls" in the context that she and her friends use it.

I have no prior experience with Latin so any advice that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Papae! Puellae!

Mulierculae, mehercule!

Mulierculae, mehercule!

I think mehercule was an oath used primarily by men, mecastor was used by women.

I didn't notice this. Where did you read of this difference?

I read it in a commentary ages ago. A quick Google search brings up this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_interjections
Aulus Gellius seems to be the authority for it.

Is it "yeah the girls" or "yea the girls?"

I've known "yeah" as a mild yes, but "yea" as a stronger yes, or a cheer.
It looks like dictionary.com distinguishes "yea" as the synonym for yes, and "yay" for the cheer.

Great! Thank you all!

Is it "yeah the girls" or "yea the girls?"

I have only ever seen the phrase written as "yeah", though I think a stronger cheer certainly makes sense contextually.

I would have thought more euge than papae
What about euhoe?
