Could merge with list of Latin phrases... AnonMoos ( talk) 12:29, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
My friend Jonathan Clark tells me that faex means dregs, not scum. My Collins Gem Latin Dictionary (1964) agrees. I've emended the page accordingly. Sicherman ( talk) 15:43, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
It seems that someone claims that this phrase should be attributed to St. Jerome only because he is referenced as having used it by Hugo in Les Misérables:
Someone needs to either find the reference by Saint Jerome, delete the reference and only elaborate on the phrase's usage in Les Misérables, or clarify that Hugo is the one who references Saint Jerome but we can't corroborate such usage. Eddie ( talk) 05:25, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
