Older millennial here. I know a few random words and phrases in Latin. A couple examples:

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
"Who will watch the watchmen?"
Thanks to the comic Watchmen. Meaning it is difficult to regulate the actions of people in power.

"Alea iacta est."
"The die is cast."
Attributed to Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon river, guaranteeing there would be a civil war. Meaning the outcome is uncertain, but you've passed the point of no return ("crossing the Rubicon" is also used to mean that).

I don't know any ancient Greek though.

I once visited a zoo where all they had was a single dog, no other animals.

It was a Shih Tzu.

It's Minnesota in the US, so pretty sure it's in Fahrenheit. Though it should be like, 40° F there (4.4° C)

Tried it, but the gameplay is painfully slow.

That was less weird to me than him calling it a video game.

On the other hand, Kirk did have a Commodore PET in his apartment in Wrath of Khan. Maybe he's into extremely retro games.

Girlfriend: "These walkie-talkies are ridiculous! This relationship is over!"

Boyfriend: "This relationship is what? Over."
