To me it means there are few absolutes in life, and "empty" is the most completely absolute. Anything more than empty would be an infinitely debatable measurement. There are no degrees of empty. Other absolutes I can think of are "never" and "always" (which happen to be words I've learned to not use during an argument with my husband).

actually, it was Latin "quid pro quo" meaning "something for something".  It is used a legal term now for something of value given for something else in return.

Alum is the name of a plant, commonly called comfrey. Alumen means alum, which is a number of different metal compounds, crystallized double sulfates, which can contain many different kinds of metals, of which aluminium is one. The name was given to it by the scientist, Sir H. Davy, who isolated it. He decided upon the name because it is the metal that most abundantly forms alum. It litteraly means "of alum." So it comes from alumen in that it comes from alum, which comes from alumen. It is not directly related.

It's Latin.  Although I'm very rusty, I do know that goodfell_az is incorrect.  The problem with translating Latin, though, is there are technically many ways to translate--meaning that the words may not still have their original meaning.\n\nThis is my translation (punctuation is mine):\n\n"Compel me, Oh foolishness!  Surrender your stained intellect.  ? you my heart, breast, My corruption."\n\nThe "?" in the translation is a word that I do not know (unless it actually is "Take").  Also, I can't remember if the last three words are grammarically correct (Latin-wise).  Here's a breakdown of the words:\n\nCompello = Compel/Take/Force\nmihi = me\nO = Oh!\nsomnium = a dream/foolishness/nonsense\nTrado = Surrender/Hand over/Teach\nvestri = your/yours\nmacula = stain/mark/fault\nmens = mind/thought/intellect\nTake = ?\nvobis = you\nmeus = my\npectus = heart/breast\npectoris = heart/breast\nMeus = My\ncorruptio = corruption

See below. It is a term in Scottish Law\n\nQuoad ultra\n3.70\nGenerally translated to ‘everything else’, this Latin tag should only be used in conjunction with the word ‘denied’. The phrase ‘Quoad ultra denied’ is the appropriate catch all to ensure that no pleadings of the other side are left unanswered. ‘Quoad ultra not known and not admitted’ and ‘Quoad ultra admitted’ should be avoided. Use in this context runs the risk that as the pleadings are adjusted the general admission is used against the pleader at a later stage

The phrase is "mind your p's and q's."  It means to be careful and pay attention to detail.  It comes from the old days when we used printing presses and the p's and q's looked similar and would often times get mixed up.
