I've named a character Nugis_Armatus.
I don't actually know Latin but took this from a phrase dictionary. It listed it as meaning: armed with trifles.
Next I looked up nugae in a regular Latin dictionary. I've assumed this is the root word of nugis. Nugae is listed as meaning: jokes, jests, idle speaches, trifles, trumpery, nonsense.
As a name, would Nugis_Armatus be appropriate for a character who uses only Wirt's leg as a weapon?

Edit: phrase not phase
