instead of just saying the times, your friend can sing them to the well-known tunes suggested by the given lyrics
anyway as far as trust, this looks mostly about how they're used in English than specifically their meaning in Latin (e.g. 'pro bono' just means 'for good' and 'status quo' is like 'state in which' - its English use comes from a longer phrase)
They both have that same sense literally in Latin (mostly 'cetera' has the connotation of others as 'the remainder/the rest', and 'alia' on others as 'different ones'). In English I think 'et al.' (short for 'et alia') is most commonly used for people, specifically citing joint authors of a work after one has been named ("Johnson et al. 2025"), while 'etc.' (et cetera) is more about a list where the specifics don't matter and focusing on the and-so-on of it ("cats, dogs, etc.").
looking at the username, i think it's supposed to be a threat
