You needn't be so rude, it's only a `lapse of lingy', as Mr. Davis says, retorted Amy, finishing Jo with her Latin. I just wish I had a little of the money Laurie spends on that horse, she added, as if to herself, yet hoping her sisters would hear.
The 'lapse of lingy' that Amy speaks of here is actually a lapsus lingae, which is Latin for a slip of the tongue.
