what does "nil satis nisi optimum" mean sorry if this is a bad question

Nothing but the best is good enough

this will be my first everton scarf in years and EVER so i want the first one when i sport them on game day to walk around with (of course everyone has opinions) but what should i go for!

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

i reckon there could be a couple of "hat, scarf or a badge" lids selling them at the stadiums over there. Everton have street stalls themselves at Goodison so maybe the club will be selling them over there as well.

knowing Everton though anything requiring forward planning doesn't usually happen, Harry Redknapp will probably have nicked the pitch to knock out some Spurs gear, with a suitcase of pompey gear at the hotel in case he has a change of mind again.

btw you can set what currency to display prices in on ebay

I.C but what about the everton shop?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Nothing satisfies but the best

 

[TrueBlueOregonian]

Uh oooo
we have two people with two different quotes

"Nothing but the best is good enough"
"Nothing satisfies but the best"

Mow you got the damn YANK CONFUSED!

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Directly translated it's nothing satisfies but the best as in nil=nothing, satis=satisfies, nisi=but the and optimum=best but if it was in english on the club badge it would read nothing but the best as it's easier to read in english and makes more sense

edit. Just put it through a latin translator and that says it is "nil enough if not best"

 

[TrueBlueOregonian]

good man

I studied Latin at school, and for one of our homeworks we had to come up with a translation for Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. The literal meaning is 'Nothing is satisfactory, only the most excellent'

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Sir John Moores (ex everton chairman and benefactor) always used to say "nothing satisfies" but since the '80's it has been said as "nothing but the best"

 

[Hayee]

Which explains my version as i was born in '87

 

[TrueBlueOregonian]
