The two phrases which I've found most often bring the knowing nods of
profound appreciation from former Latin students are:
"Reg penna dept agr."
and
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ... "
Many will offer a translaton. Fun to try sometime. (The effect when spoken
is much better)
Google search shows the relevence of these two phrases in contemporary
society.
All best,
