"Veni, vidi, dormivi" is a playful twist on Julius Caesar's famous phrase "Veni, vidi, vici," which means "I came, I saw, I conquered" in Latin. In this altered version, "dormivi" means "I slept," so the phrase humorously suggests that after coming and seeing, the person slept instead of conquering. It is a lighthearted way to express relaxation or laziness in contrast to Caesar's victorious declaration.
