The English equivalent of the Latin word 'civis' is citizen. The other word 'collocerviciliaris' is a made-up word. It may represent the combination of 'collo' for 'neck', 'cervi' for 'deer', and 'ciliaris' for 'of or pertaining to eyelids'. Or it may represent the combination of 'collo' with 'cerviciliaris' as 'of or pertaining to a little neck'. Or it may represent yet another combniation for yet another meaning. For the phrase 'civis collocerviciliaris' comes from an online article, 'Liberties: Are We Rome? Tu betchus!', by Maureen Dowd of the New York Times. Within the article is a translation of her 'The Battle of Gall' into Latin by Professor Gary D. Farney of Rutgers University. Farney's translation accurately is described as 'creatively' and 'loosely' done. The phrase 'civis collocerviciliaris' translates a descriptive term applied, at a Florida rally, against the soon-to-be-elected 44th President of the United States of America. The complete sentence is the following: Obama demonatus est tamquam Musulmanus Manchurianus candidatus - civis 'collocerviciliaris' ad ralliam Floridam Palinae exhabet* mascum Obama ut Luciferus'. The sentence explains that Obama has been demonized as the Muslim Manchurian candidate, and likened to Lucifer.
