[Blinqzs]

Veni Vidi Vici?

Is that French?...

[trottigy]

Latin for:

 

I came. I saw. I conquered.

[trottigy]

 

Its popular usage reportedly originates from a letter that Julius Caesar wrote to the Roman Senate after achieving victory in his short war against Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela.

 

The phrase is used to refer to a swift, conclusive victory.

 

 

And I am moving this to the "General" forum.
