thank you, michael!! i’ve thought long and hard about it and didn’t come to any conclusion. :-)
i think curriculum vitae is what C.V. is supposed to mean.

Well indeed my Italian friend, it’s Latin: Curriculum means something like ‘course’, vitae is the so-called ‘genitivus’ of vita which means ‘life’. So Curriculum Vitae means ‘the course of life’.
Well, this concludes our lesson of today my dear disciples, make sure you come well prepared to the next class!

A ‘bonk’ is an English slang word for sex, so I guess bonkified means to have been fucked a lot!

a c.v. is a curriculum vitae. not other things!!!
i don’t know if you know what is a c.v. it’s a list of what have you done in your life… when you’re searching for a job, they ask you your c.v. where you write where you worked, your experiences, ecc.

Bad decisions, aftermaths and unmade beds
I’ve plastered over cracks and tried to mend what I can’

‘Bonkified’ is also explained in the right way!

Do you remember the time when German tennis star Boris Becker was nicknamed ‘Bonking Boris’?

Five years of Latin too.

But I thought I would add since no one else did, the best translation of CV for American English speakers is ‘resume’, acute on the second e.

Kinda strange that so many people had Latin. I also wasted 3 years of my life with that language.
Well, maybe T? is band for geeks, who knows?

Yeah, infernalover, translate it! I mean, I know what it means but Jeremy wants to know.

It’s not from a romance actually; it’s the first verse of a song about the Italian penalty desaster in 1994’s world cup final…
