Stercus Accidit

I thought I'd try a little literary escapism today - Latin style.

What follows are some mostly non-conventional Latin phrases and their parenthesized translations. For the record, let's just say that Julius Caesar never uttered any of these.

You might want to copy some of these down to impress your friends and family members with your knowledge of the language once spoken on the iters ( streets ) and forums of ancient Rome.
