Illegitimi non carborundum
It is a pseudo latin phrase (usually "nil bastardum carborundum" - but probably more correctly "illegitimi nil carborundum"?) meaning - don't let the bastards grind you down...
Illegitimi non carborundum is nonsense. It pretends to mean "Don't let the bastards wear you down." Mixing up fake Latin from English words for comic effect is called "macaronics."
Don't let the bastards get you down! (Pigeon Latin)
Don't let the b*****ds grind you down is the English equivalent of 'Illegitimi non carborundum'. In the word by word translation, the adjective/noun 'illegitimi' means 'illegitimate [ones]'. The adverb 'non' means 'not'. The noun 'carborundum' refers to a range of abrasives, such as silicon carbide. This isn't real Latin. It's one of many mock Latin phrases. Please visit http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegitimi_non_carborundum.
Carborundum, also known as silicon carbide, is a crystalline solid. It has a crystal structure similar to that of diamond and has high thermal conductivity and hardness.

Carborundum is used as an abrasive material in applications such as grinding, cutting, and polishing. It is also used in manufacturing processes where high hardness and wear resistance are required, such as in the production of ceramics and refractory materials. Additionally, carborundum is used in the production of semiconductors and as an abrasive in sandpaper and grinding wheels.
It's emery.
