The asker has declined this answer Comment: I thought it was something like loqur |
res locuta est Explanation: It is from loquor. Related to the past participle "locutus", English has "elocution", and the odd offshoot "interlocutor" - the straight man, particularly in American English in the ´20s and ´30s. "Hey Mr. Interlocutor!". Who should then respond, giving the comic the cue for his opening line. |
