- Fucking barbarians not knowing Latin and Greek. Literally means horse racing course
  
  Yes, but where are the hippos?
  
  Yeah, but if they'd had any imagination,they could have flooded it and had hippo races!
  
  Losers.
- Tfw "hippo" literally means "horse"
  
  But horse-apotamus makes no sense (unless "apotamus" means "big fat") - I'm not the most cunning of linguists.
  
  Hippothetically
- I laughed
The Roman Hippodrome was AFAIK much more popular and used almost every day. It was also much, much bigger.
- The circus Maximus was also flooded for naval battles.
If they had invented roller skates, they could have used the hippodrome for roller derby. Imagine that shit. Roman gladiatorial roller derby.
They both have the Bread & Circuses update.
Homo means gay, trans means changed sex and hippo means fat, semi aquatic mammal.

Not to confuse anyone. English laziness strikes again!
- hippo means fat, semi aquatic manual.
  
  Is there an automatic version?
  
  Oops, mammal. Also, I think some didn't know I was being sarcastic and mocking our general lack of understanding of roots.
- homo means same, trans means across/other side, hippo means horse.
  
  Yeah I was being sarcastic sorry. People go around saying stuff like "are you a homo?" And "look at that hippo!" We know what they mean, but they're not saying what they think they're saying
- Gay Heidelbergensis?
