As for the "insectus"... I'm perfectly willing to accept that EAxis really in this case took English and slapped an -us on it!
Everyone know slapping -us onto something makes instant dog-Latin! See "Bigus Dickus".

Oh, cool, a latin grammar nazi!
Go, breyerii!
Ceterum autem censeo, Carthaginem esse delendam.
I used that as frequent non sequitur somewhere some time ago. I once thought about a script to add that with the press of a button so I could attach it to a monologue, and I might have even decided to use it as a signature somewhere. After all, it was originally used non sequens.
And Pescado, I know dog latin is enough for you, with all the pseudo-latin double-i genitives you use.

Ah, but where I live he became "Marco Pisellonio" ("pisellone" = big... dickus).

Oh, now I'm remembering the good ol' days of taking Latin, and Carthago delendo est. We'd go to quizbowl contests and that was one of our stock answers for bonus questions that we didn't know the answer to, along with Julius Caesar and 3rd declension. We knew how to play the odds!
Metatwaddle:
Ours was Hernan Cortez. But it was the trademark of one guy on the team, and the one time that Cortez was an answer, he wasn't there. He was really disappointed.
Then there were the QuizNet contests, where we'd occasionally make something up when nobody on any team knew the answer. Usually they'd all just repeat the answer we gave, and it really annoyed the moderator. :D
