Makes no sense to me, but you may have more context...

EDIT : Actually no, I included a quotation mark at the beginning of the phrase, UncleFluffy has the 'as is' translation, crikey, what a difference that makes ; )

I punched "latin translation to english" into google, and got a lot of results; try that. |

What's the source? If it's a modern person making up a latin phrase, then that would be it. If it's something from the Roman era, then probably not.

I don't know what "Lustus" is. | I think you're probably right. It's likely a bad attempt at translating the idiom "just how we roll", with "Lustus" a mistake for "Iustus", which means "just, righteous, honorable", etc. "Volvo" means "I spin, tumble", etc., but the 1st person plural would be "(nos) volvimus". As it stands, the sentence lacks meaning.

| Thanks guys, that makes sense. It was written on a team's shirts at our company 5-a-side tournament. I was just curious as to what it meant.
