It's annoying that the original Latin is not provided. I'd love to know the original words used for some of these terms (such as buggering).

EDIT: It looks like this link is just a marketing site for a jewellery store. The original that this site stole from is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170221135226/http://www.pompei...



Here's a site with the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum: https://db.edcs.eu/epigr/epi_einzel.php?s_sprache=en&p_beleg.... Replace the last four digits in the URL with the number before the quote on the site you linked to see the Latin.

"Bugger" is probably gonna be "paedico". I do find the whole "Classics scholar translates back-alley graffiti" vibe of the translation hilarious.
