# NOLI SE TANGERE
this should be noli me tangere, shouldn't it?
- FroshKiller 10y agoWhile "noli me tangere" is the Biblical phrase this alludes to, "noli se tangere" would mean in context "don't touch this." It's not that the programmer misremembered "noli me tangere" but that he played on the reference.
- ahunt09 10y agoIs it possible the author intended it to mean `don't touch this/it`, instead of `don't touch me`?
- anvandare 10y agoYes, but I think the author meant "don't touch this". 'Se' is third person, but reflexive, so it should be: "noli id tangere"
