Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down
1997 studio album by the Toasters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down is the seventh studio album by the Toasters. The album's cover includes the supposed-Latin motto, "Illegitimis non carborundum", which is supposed to mean "one must not be ground down by the bastards", although it is largely faux-Latin, with "carborundum" (intended to look like a Latin gerundive) actually referring to silicon carbide, a type of abrasive.
