what does this phrase mean?? "magna *** loudly"?

Question

What does it mean when someone says "I graduated magna cuum(actually with only one u) loudly"?

magna *** loudly is a slang, and it's a real phrase.

I WANT TO KNOW THE SLANG MEANING! I KNOW THE LAUDE MEANING ALREADY.

Answer 1

Uhm... I think you're referring to Magna C*m Laude, an honor bestowed on people who excel in their chosen degree of specialization.

If it's slang, though, Magna C*m Loudly may mean someone who graduated by talking a lot. Are you like that? Hehe...

Answer 2

The phrase, "Magna Cu m Laude" means 'with great praise' and means that someone graduated with high honors (usually but not always a high GPA).

It's possible that someone made a pun on the phrase to say that they made a lot of noise at graduation.

When I graduated someone gave me a small stuffed monkey wearing a cap that read 'Monkey Cu m Laude."

Answer 3

I'm not up on modern slang, but when a student graduates with good grades, he or she is awarded the degree "*** laude," which means "with praise." "Magna *** laude" means "with much praise" and is reserved for the very best students. The very best student, properly only one student, graduates "summa *** laude," which means "with the highest praise."

If you graduate lower down than that, tell folks you graduated "mirabile dictu," which means "miraculous to relate."

I have no idea why Yahoo replaces the Latin word for "with" with asterisks. As I say, I don't know any contemporary slang.

Answer 4

Magna cu m laude--Latin for "with high honors"; graduates with the highest grades are given this honor on their diploma/degree.
Summa cu m laude--with greatest honor
Cu m laude--with honor

Answer 5

Well when they say it loudly, it means they are bragging.

Here is a little info on it:

Harvard College first awarded final honors to its graduates in 1869. From 1872 to 1879, *** laude and summa *** laude were the two Latin honors awarded to graduates. Beginning in 1880, magna *** laude was also awarded:

The Faculty then prepared regulations for recommending candidates for the Bachelor's degree, either for an ordinary degree or for a degree with distinction; the grades of distinction being summa *** laude, magna *** laude, and *** laude. The degree summa *** laude is for those who have attained ninety per cent on the general scale, or have received Highest Honors in any department, and carries with it the assignment of an oration on the list of Commencement parts; the degree magna *** laude is for those who have attained eighty per cent on the general scale, or have received Honors in any department, and carries with it the assignment of a dissertation; and the degree *** laude is to be given to those who attain seventy-five per cent on the general scale, and to those who receive Honorable Mention in any study together with sixty-five per cent on the general scale, or seventy per cent on the last three years, or seventy-five per cent on the last two.... [Annual Reports of the President and Treasurer of Harvard College, 1877-78]

In an 1894 history of Amherst College, college historian William Seymour Tyler traced Amherst's system of Latin honors to 1881, and attributed it to Amherst College President Julius Hawley Seelye:

Instead of attempting to fix the rank of every individual student by minute divisions on a scale of a hundred as formerly, five grades of scholarship were established and degrees were conferred upon the graduating classes according to their grades. If a student was found to be in the first or lowest grade, he was not considered as a candidate for a degree, though he might receive a certificate stating the facts in regard to his standing; if he appeared in the second grade the degree of A.B. was conferred upon him rite; if in the third, *** laude; if in the fourth, magna *** laude; while if he reached the fifth grade he received the degree summa *** laude. The advantages of this course, as stated to the trustees by the president, are that it properly discriminates between those who, though passing over the same course of study, have done it with great differences of merit and of scholarship, and that it furnishes a healthy incentive to the best work without exciting an excessive spirit of emulation.

The new system of administration, of which the above is a part, is so original and peculiar that it is known as the Amherst System...

YAHOO'S FILTER IS NOT ALLOWING US TO WRITE C - U - M for these honors.

Answer 6

There are typically three types of Latin honors. In order of increasing level of honor, they are:

* *** laude, “with honor”; direct translation: “with praise”
* magna *** laude, “with great honor”; direct translation: “with great praise”
* summa *** laude, “with highest honor”; direct translation: “with highest praise”

Answer 7

LOL, it relatively is "magna *** laude," a word from Latin. it ability graduating with severe honors, yet not the utmost. "summa *** laude" is the utmost, given to those with relatively severe grades. "magna *** laude" is in simple terms below that. and popular honors, below those 2, is in simple terms "*** laude."
