I found a golden plate in my garage that reads:
"illigitimus non totem carbarondun."
Does anyone know what it means in English??
Thanks.

It's made up fake Latin
illigitimus is not a Latin word (neither is illegitimi)
carbarondun (or carborundum) is not a Latin word
Someone is being cute. If the words were real, the intent means something like "A fatherless person (or insert your favorite swearword) is not totally worn down."

I haven't seen it in this form. The form I'm familiar with is
Non Illigitimati Carborundum
Don't let the bastards grind you down.
It is, of course, fake Latin
