Perditio Temporis
I want a copy of the Vatican's new Latin dictionary, which defines "disco," "karate," and other essential terms. My question: "Hippie" is "conformitatis osor," which I assume means "hater of conformity." So how does the Pope define "player hater?" If you don't want to bother with the book, the Glossarium Philosophicum is just a click away.

Gee, thanks, Tim! I've always wanted an online Latin glossary. Thumbing through this little paperback is so awkward, and not as effective. Now, when I need to look up, say, "caveo imperium" it's just a click away.
Naturally, I've saved it under my bookmarks.
