    One thing I always loved when taking Latin in school was how succinct the insults are. Are you an idiot simply boils down to stultus es, a common insult was fur meaning thief which in practice was used for many circumstances. My favorite was bustirape (pronounced Boos-te-ra-pay) which meant grave robber, but roughly translates to lowdown son of a bitch. Maybe it was because they had to chisel so much of their language into stone, but the Romans really were champions of brevity.

      Well, Cinna was the one who pioneered the cinnabar-cinnabon conversion process.
