It is for the Family Motto of my persona in the SCA.
(Society for Creative Anachronism).
The motto: "To Hold Decency at Bay."
The idea for this motto came to me in a dream.
In the dream I was a Hunter using a pack of dogs to hold
off an attacking wolf. The wolf represented the forces of "Decency."
In this case "Decency" being those people who want to tell everyone
how to live, they want censor how people think and what people read
and what people watch, and what people drink. They are the prudes,
the prigs, the little old ladies who point their fingers and shake their
heads.
So to get the correct image of the idea, use the Wolf (Decency) being held
off (at bay) by the hounds. Thanks for your help.

I would go with
UT PUDOR DETENTUS SIT

Ut = In order that
pudor = decency
detentus sit = be kept away (be hold off)

If you're holding decency at bay, does that make you indecent? o.0 or am i misunderstanding it...?
