Latin Pun[edit]

This law is referenced on the Goodbye Mr Chips (film) page as a pun on the English"can, you liar".. Chips gives the example of a plebeian girl who wants to marry a patrician, but the patrician says he can't marry her (because it is illegal), and the girl replies "Oh yes you can, you liar." 217.155.193.120 (talk) 14:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
