Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum Meme

In The Handmaid’s Tale season one, episode four – we were introduced to the saying nolite te bastardes carborundorum. It was carved into the closet of the room that Offred was staying, and was done by a former handmaid.

Download The Handmaid’s Tale phone wallpaper from the official Instagram. So what does this saying mean?

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum dont let the bastards grind you down meme

Well…. low and behold – while if it were real it would mean “don’t let the bastards grind you down.” That said – it’s made-up! Nolite te bastardes carborundorum is mock Latin—a schoolboy’s joke, as it’s explained in both the novel and the series.” Read the history behind this phrase.
