Why confine yourself to boring monosyllabic Anglo-Saxon taunts and insults when you can defame, demean, degrade, demolish and damn in the deft language of Cicero, Martial, Ovid, Catullus, Horace and others?
Now you can impress your friends and devastate your enemies with the filth and wit of your newly-excavated repertoire of classical invective.
Usefully arranged in sections for the sexless, gormless, worthless, and unscrupulous (etc etc) the book contains illustrations from classical sources and is immaculately researched by a young Cambridge classics scholar and an expert in the ancient languages of desire and desperation . . . and did we forget to mention that this book is also very, very funny?
