Hi and thanks for your suggestion I know what you mean about feeling foolish I find myself mortified blushing and laughing every time I look at this poem However based on my reading of the available technical literature pedicabo has the specific meaning of male on X anal sex which isn t necessarily conveyed by a simple fuck you That s why I chose the more explicit fuck you up your ass and down your throat There s a nifty chiasmus in the first two lines did you notice Of course the up and down aren t in the original Latin but I thought they were the best English idiom and made a neatly matching pair for the chiasmus More generally it d be good if the translation were something that an angry man today might actually say so that students will feel the force of the poem For example I m a little uneasy that fudge packed Furius is not modern usage but it was an alliteration that I couldn t pass up What do you think I m not really attached to any one version perhaps we can find a better translation together
