All I remember from one year is agricolae sunt agris. I switched to French for two years - has had some practical applications. C’est la vie!

Agricola is one of the rare 1st Declension nouns that is masculine. Another rare masculine 1st Declension noun is mentula, which is the ancient Roman word for penis. The actual word penis, 3rd Declension, masculine, was stolen from the Greeks much later.
