    , French:
    [ɔni swa ki mal i pɑ̃s]
    ) is a
    maxim
    in the
    Anglo-Norman language
    , a dialect of
    Old Norman French
    spoken by the medieval ruling class in England, meaning "shamed be whoever thinks ill of it", usually translated as "shame on anyone who thinks evil of it" It has been used as the
    motto
    of the British
    chivalric
    Order of the Garter
    . In current French usage, the phrase may be used ironically to insinuate the presence of a hidden agenda or a
    conflict of interest
