The Codex of Zuka
HamsterIV:
Shame on me for not remember the High School Latin I took over 10 years ago.
Feel free to contribute more than pithy corrections Sunderland. I am sure Zuka wouldn't mind one more in his fan club.
Squidslinger Gilder:
"Zuka farts provide 500% more thrust than Hydrogen, and are 200% more effective than tar barrels"
"The Battle on the Dunes is the remains of Zuka's last Amplified Commode Blow"
"Zuka mines are mines launched from the mine launcher that have Zuka's picture on them. Enemy crews have been known to leap off ships to hug a Zuka mine"
"People go on tests of courage in spooky places. Monsters go on tests of courage to Zuka's house"
HamsterIV:
* If Zuka calls you a "Dirty Peasant" feel honored he stopped to recognize your presence at all. Now get back to work!
* Every Zuka doll spends at least 10 minutes in the presence of Zuka so that it can absorb some of his aura.
* Zuka plays GOI sitting atop a throne made of Zuka Dolls and surrounded by a boiling moat of Zuka Sauce.
* Zuka Sauce has been banned by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) due to its performance enhancing properties.
* The coinage of the Mercantile Guild is stamped with the saying "In Zuka we Trust."

That doesn't work. In the phrase "Et tu, Brute", you get Brute from Brutus because it's vocative, I.e. Brutus is the one being addressed. The vocative of Zuka isn't Zukae. Zukae would be dative or genitive singular, or nominative/vocative plural. So "Et tu, Zukae" could translate to the nonsensical "You too, of Zuka", "You too, to Zuka", or "You to, Zukas". Note that while the last sentence seems gramatically correct in English, Latin's use of different pronouns in second person for singular and plural makes it so that it's not the case.
The correct sentence would simply be "Et tu, Zuka"

Every single form of Zuka in this post is correct. You cannot be wrong whence you have invoked to almighty Zukaness! So you're right. Also yes.

"Zukasauce...the number one brand among sky whales for sky barnacle removal. Tough on barnacles but not on skin!"
"When Zuka whips out his mallet, don't ask to see it. You may get Zuka'd"
