Need a way to insult someone in latin? This may be the book for you. Henry Beard gives you what you need from "your momma" lines to slogans. Amusing little book. ( )

If this was a Latin text book, then Latin would be the most popular language in school. It has several useful chapters - the use of the word F-word for those possessed with any variety of road rage is perhaps the best one, offering insults far beyond any combination of fuck- possible in English. This book would make a great gift for a lawyer who has to use a certain amount of Latin anyway, and if the book falls open at the F-word cursing chapter when you give it as a gift, well then, so much the better.

This was a fun and amusing read. There were lots of cool quotes that were both funny in the english translation and in the latin one. For example the bumper sticker slogan 'Malim praedari' which translates into 'I'd rather be pillaging,' or the joke on reality tv 'Impetus Pistricum in Insignes' which translates into 'Celebrity Shark Attack.' X-Treme Latin is a fun and quick read that is sure to give you lots of laughs and is great coffee table humor. ( )

This is a hilariously funny book! I f you ever wanted to know how to say, "Okay tailgater, time for a brake check!" or "Don't diss me unless you can speak Latin!" in Latin you'll find it in here. It is full of one-liners, come-backs, put-downs, take-downs, etc. which are made all the more funny by being totally incomprehensible to your 'victim'.

Mind you, it's not a book for small eyes. Unless, that is, you want your child to be able to tell the bully at school to go F--- themselves in several different cases, moods, declensions, etc. ( )
