Latinitas to the rescue!
It's happened to all of us, you're sitting at your desk, writing a letter to your favorite Latinist, when you realize that you don't know how to say kamikaze! Well, fret no more! Excerpts of the Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis are now online! You'll be able to write voluntárius sui interemptor, and many other phrases, with confidence, knowing they have the Vatican stamp of approval!
Some of the highlights:
gin (pótio iunípera)
vodka (válida pótio Slávica)
rum (rhómium; sícera náutica)
gulag (campus captivis custodiendis)
radar (radioëléctricum instrumentum detectórium)
jeep (autocinētum locis iniquis aptum)
jumbo jet (capacíssima aëronāvis)
karaté (oppugnátio inermis Iapónica)
neofascist (renovātus fascálium motus)
overdose (immódica medicamenti stupefactīvi iniéctio)
pizza (placenta compressa)(I don't want to know),
blue jeans (bracae línteae caerúleae)
plaid (strágula laculāta)
hot pants (brevíssimae bracae femíneae)
psycologist (humani ánimi investigātor), and
salami (tomáculum)
Unfortunately, the translations are in Italian, but if that's not a problem for you, head on over and expand your modern Latin vocabulary.
