Trivia
- When Connor Wolf accidentally crashes into Peter Pan, a furious Pan starts spouting Latin. He calls Connor "faex!," meaning "dregs."[1] As he gets up, he angrily exclaims "morde meum globes!," Latin for "bite my balls."[2] When Pan charges at Connor with a knife, he yells "fututus et mori!," meaning "fuck off and die."[3]
- Tinker Bell also uses the Latin language in Fables #160 — "The Black Forest Chapter Ten: Tremble."
