  2. it means "no-one provokes me with impunity"

    its on the side of a £1 coin as well :)

    xx

  3. It means if yo diss my homies i'll pop a cap in your S****y ****, beeatchhh

  4. 'No One Assails Me With Impunity'.

    Scotch is a drink by the way.

  5. Nemo me impune lacessit is the Latin motto of the Order of the Thistle and of three Scottish regiments of the British Army. [1] The motto also appears, in conjunction with the collar of the Order of the Thistle, in later versions of the Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Scotland and subsequently in the version of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom used in Scotland. It is often translated as No-one provokes me with impunity.

  7. "No one provokes me with impunity"

    "Cha togar m' fhearg gun dìoladh" (Scottish Gaelic)

    "Wha daur meddle wi me?" (Scots)

    In the motto "No-one provokes me with impunity" (Latin: "Nemo me impune lacessit"), "me" was therefore originally the thistle itself, but by extension now refers to the Scottish crown and the Scottish regiments which have adopted it. http://www.royalscotsgrenadiers.com/
