Some of the phrases are a bit snarky which makes this a fun read too. I gave this to my older daughter as a Christmas gift and she loves it.

Amusing to most Romans.

Amusing old book. Think of funny moments in modern life and give them the dignity of Latin. I used to have the cassette tapes which were even funnier than this book.

LOVE IT, VERY FUN WAY TO LEARN LATIN

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

Henry Beard is both educated and he has a wonderful sense of humor. I would highly recommend this book if you are learning Latin. In high school, I wrote on the chalk board in latin, I copied a quote "I was abducted by Aliens what year is it"? My teacher went to Harvard and found my humor very entertaining and I got an A in the class. If youre bored with Latin you need this book. It's hilarious!

In spite of the description, I was really astonished at first sight. But as my daughter - for whom I bought it as a present - is happy, I am happy, too.
It will be an antique thing soon. :)

Fun for any classics nut, or those who just want to pretend to be. As a Latin teacher, I was able to use these not only to amuse students, but also as little bonus translation exercises.

Latin for office occasions...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 11, 2009

Verified Purchase

I leave this on my desk at work, and people think I'm some braniac that studies Latin...until they read some of the phrases within. Everyone that has flipped through it has enjoyed it. I'm still working on memorizing my favorite Latin insults.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2001

Verified Purchase

This is a rather unusual book, with all manner of everyday and bizarre sayings nicely translated into Latin for your amusement/education/use at a dinner party. Just as with his very funny "French for Cats", the real humour lies in the really odd things he has taken the time to translate - things like "I believe that Elvis is still alive".
It is a good fun coffee table book, and a must for any serious collector of great humour books.

Arthur

questionable Latin

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

As a humour book, it is not bad, although a bit dated or stereotypical. It is meant for the university or adult reader, not the high school student. It appears to be a translation from English and so the Latin text might be a bit questionable. For example, on page 74, he has 'please' in 'please, no MSG,' translated as 'sodes', which means 'if you don't mind'', but to my thinking, rogo (‘I ask’), or quaeso (‘I ask’), would be more appropriate in this situation. Therefore, I would suggest that it would be better as something to read rather than as something to memorise to improve your Latin mark.
