This page lists direct English translations of common and uncommon Latin phrases, such as ipso fatso and douche ex machina. Some of these funny Latin phrases are actually funny, whereas some might be considered lameus extremus (if you are an ignoramus or a compost mentis). But you get what you pay for, so I guess the all-too familiar phrase applies: caveat, hoser!
