It's Greek To Me!
May 9, 2011
by Corrin Foster
In publishing, design, and typography, the practice of using placeholder text in an interior layout or cover design is called “greeking” (though, ironically, it’s usually Latin). It’s a great way to get a feel for a finished design or font without having to have the final copy ready and in place. According to Wikipedia, it originates from the phrase “It’s Greek to me,” meaning it’s written in a foreign language that you don’t understand.
To make things more complicated, the placeholder text isn’t really Latin. Sure, it’s a section of Latin text by Cicero, but the words have been jumbled, altered, and removed, making it altogether nonsensical. “Greeked” text often starts with the phrase “lorem ipsum,” which translates loosely into “pain itself.”
If you’re in the need for some Greek, this Lorem Ipsum generator quickly supplies Greek text in whatever amount needed, and this fun Greeking Machine website takes it a step further by translating Greeked text into other languages ranging from Hillbilly to Techno Babble to (eek!) Marketing.

Never thought about this
Never thought about this before although the guys at SimplePrint's use it as a template. Yeah I know sometimes printing is painstaking but I wonder why "pain itself" is universally used as the template.
