Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware". Generally Caveat Emptor was the property law doctrine that controlled the sale of real property after the date of 'closing'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor Mar 12 07, 5:40 PM

Here's where comic strips come in. I distinctly remember when I was ten or twelve learning "Caveat emptor" from "Mary Worth" and "gauche" from "Peanuts." Of course I was making a case to my mother about the value of the funny pages. My kids have picked up a number of words from "Calvin and Hobbes." Mar 12 07, 6:10 PM
