Someone translate this for me if you will:

Que le den por el saco al obispo.
Couldn't you wait ONE minute??Originally posted by dduardo
I guess being able to speak spanish is finally paying off.
Que le den - That they give
por el saco - for the sacking
al obispo - to the bishop
Hmm, that's a strange saying? Are you trying to sack a bishop?

This reminds me of an alleged quote by former US VP Dan Quayle:
"I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people."
Latin is a language that was used in ancient Rome and is now considered a dead language. It is important because it has had a significant influence on modern languages such as English, French, Spanish, and Italian. It is also the language of the Catholic Church and is used in many legal, scientific, and academic fields.
Learning any language requires time and effort, and Latin is no exception. However, because it is a dead language, it does not have any native speakers, making it less complex in terms of pronunciation and colloquial usage. Many people also find that learning Latin can improve their overall understanding of language structure and grammar.
In the past, Latin was primarily learned by scholars, clergymen, and those in academic fields. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in learning Latin, and it is now being taught in many high schools and universities. Anyone with an interest in language, history, or literature can benefit from learning Latin.
While Latin is not commonly spoken in everyday conversations, it can be useful in certain situations. For example, many scientific, medical, and legal terms are derived from Latin, so knowing the language can help in understanding these terms. Additionally, many mottos, phrases, and expressions used in English are derived from Latin, so having a basic understanding can enhance your understanding of these phrases.
There are several ways to learn Latin, including enrolling in a class at a university or community college, hiring a private tutor, or using online resources and self-study programs. It is important to find a method that works best for you and to practice regularly to improve your skills.
