Latin lives!
The Vatican produced an "updated" Latin dictionary last year which includes the following:
taberna nocturna = night club
vinum rubrum Burdigalense = Merlot
iuvenis voluptarius = playboy
brevissimae bracae femineae = hot pants
tromocrates = terrorist
fistula nicotiana = cigarette
placenta compressa = pizza
"The Latinitas Foundation is an academic institution founded in 1976 by Pope Paul VI with the intention of preserving and evolving the Latin language. It publishes a quarterly review in Latin and a Latin dictionary that runs to 780 pages." ~AP
