quidam-vir

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick
