I recall that occasionally we had to read out Latin prose passages, which often began with rather meaningless expressions such as His verbis dictis autem (And having said these words). But the one which always made silly schoolboys giggle was Ob has causas (For these reasons) - because we would pronounce causas as "Cow's arse", much to the annoyance of the Latin master.

Ah the joys of Kennedy's Revised Latin Primer......NOT!
