Hi Stalker!
We're glad that you're here- LEP adores stalkers and offers them cookies. :) So, what is LEP all about? How did we get started? Who's running this crazy band of poets? And what do we have going on in the unknown, blurry, and vague future? Find out in the "Epic Things You Need to Read" section towards the right! ---->
Now that you know all that, let's move on to more meaty secrets of the League of Extraordinary Poets- like what does "Lepidus Eximius Puncius!" mean anyway? You'll probably see it everywhere anytime LEP is involved. So what does our awesome phrase translate to? If you saw it on our coat of arms during Welcome Week, you probably thought, "Oh, a cool dragon! Whoah...awesome...and...a cup thing, a pen/feather, and...oh, fancy Latin words. Let's just ignore those...."
Well, you were right! They ARE indeed fancy Latin words! (And we do have a cool dragon, we'll admit)
Lepidus = witty
Eximius = excellence/extraordinary
Puncius = our own made up Latin word for "punch". We feel it's imperative to point out that "punchus" was thought of at one point, only to be turned down due to us feeling that that may convey the wrong sentiment.
So why "punch" at all? You'll have to find out next time. :)
