venesect- ven-uh-sekt (Vulgar latin) - adj.
(Classical latin pron. Wen-Eh-Sekt) The old latin term for when something has been torn to pieces, or is sectioned out. It can also be roughly translated to read "shitty" or "amazing" So a destroyed city could fall under the category. As could a beautifully sectioned and planned city. It led to much confusion, and actually led to the downfall of Rome when a man from Carthage visited Rome, and his statement was misunderstood as in short "This city look like sh*t" When in fact he meant "This is the most amazing place i've ever been" Leading to a disagreement between the peoples and allowed the Huns to level much of the Roman empire. To bad the Romans hadn't come across a school of Babelfish, it might have saved the civilization.
