Not Feeling SANQUINE About This

Yet another Faceplace ad that falls between sad and funny. I’m pretty sure the Latin on this very serious “blood oath” coin is supposed to mean “what is owed in blood” (quod debitum sanguine) only they misspelled “blood” as SANQUINE, which doesn’t seem to mean anything.

Everything Is Better With Latin!™ (but not dog-Latin; that’s just sad)
