Redneck Latin and the EYE dissection link

Wanted to write this down before I lost it.  One of the things we have been doing is associating our Latin words with silliness. (who-us?)  Latin redneck is our theme.

For some odd reason, it currently is working, albeit for the life of me I have no idea why. It seems like it should complicate the memory work. Take it or leave it. Just didn't want to forget it as we delve into more and more of the Latin grammar.

Prepositions
In = In
Apud = With    (aka:  APUD it WITH my shoes)
Per = Through   (we drew a picture of a pear with a hole in it)
Sine = Without   (aka: Jesus was WITHOUT SIN)

Conjunctions
Et = And   (aka:  I  ET ham AND beans)
Ut = That   (aka: I tol' you, UT THAT over thar -Translation for the redneck challenged-"Put that over there")
Sed = But   (aka: I knows what you SED, BUT I don't care!)

Pronouns
Didn't use the redneck translation here, just did hopscotch games. Made a little chant.

Verbs
Erat = Was   (aka:  ERAT WAS gonna bite me)
Est = Is        similar enough to leave alone
Sunt = Are    (working on this one)
Venit = Came   (VENIT CAME over to our house)
Perhiberet = Bear      (there's a hibernate in there somehow which relates to bear)
Crederent = Believe   (Credible means believe, crederent obvious origin.)
