domestic goat (Capra aegagrus circus) + Carpe diem (seize the day) = Capra diem (goat day).

Or Carpe capra (seize the goat).

My latin is terrible. Which is to say, I have taken no latin.

This is pretty good. I'll see what Herr Direktor thinks. Bokker

 

[steimie]

LOL. Maybe? Hey, I was up front with my Latin disclaimer.

But seriously, we might want someone with Latin skills to double check my work. Or it could just be a funny play on words. Actually it might be funnier than I intended. I was looking up capra (Latin) after your comment and came across this:

2nd definition. 50+ (what I'm assuming are mostly) guys at a beer tasting? The odor of armpits? Maybe not far off?

No, it's about 70/30 women to dudes. Not great but it'll have to do this time.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

Sounds like the ratio is off

 

[NAD1983]

it's about 70/30 women to dudes.

My wife is already thrilled that I'm flying all the way to NYC for a beer event. I'll be sure to share this information to calm her nerves

 

[Saugusbrewer]

Sounds like some lucky folks though I am nor familiar with the beer. Will there be canoe seats for the mensch?

 

[GrumpyOldTroll]

Just tell your wife it could be worse. You could be traveling around Europe every couple of months having legendary experiences with your beer friends instead of just coming to NYC for a weekend.

 

[Bokker1]

oh yeah the thing is wrong there, bok in Dutch means male goat.

 

[Jnorton00]

Has "Bokkeback Mountain" already been suggested?

 

[Saugusbrewer]

Has "Bokkeback Mountain" already been suggested?

Probably played out to be safe

 

[BurgerTime]

Capra is the genus, so the first letter is always capitalized which would distinguish it from capra were it not at beginning of the sentence. I guess? Latin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.” E.B. White

Luckily the masculine is caper. So, you could go with Caper diem?

Or... The Great Lambic Caper? The Great Bottle Caper? A play on The Great Muppet Caper.

Another Latin word for male goat is haedus. Haedus gonna hate?

Obviously there's no need for a Latin tie in.

 

[Bokker1]

so would caper diem be correct?

it might sound stupid though because most people think it's that green little thing you can eat, but there's another meaning to the word which relates to this event I think :
informal
an illicit or ridiculous activity or escapade.

Opinions please. I can look up meanings of words but as a non native speaker I don't know the connotation it has.

No idea if Caper diem is actual Latin for anything. Certainly we have some cunning linguists here on TB that could help?

Even if it is a reference to the caper that you eat though, who doesn't like a good chicken piccata?

It would just read as "Goat Day".

99.9% of people have no clue the word caper means something other than the green pickled things. That being said 99.9% of the people who do not know the meaning of the word will also not be attending this event. It works on so many levels though and half the fun is unpacking how clever it is.

Since I am one of those not attending though, this name is silly (Just kidding I think you have winner in BurgerTime's suggestion)

My Latin is pretty rusty and it's been probably a decade since I took it so I'm not 100% sure of the following: Latin usually doesn't usually have a literal word for word translation. In this case I think you'd have to have the goat show possession over the day by using the genitive case of the word goat. I think Dies Caprae would be the best way which would loosely translate to "day of the goat". you could also go plural with "Dies Caprārum" for "Day of the Goats".
