Yes, Latin, like any other language has it's slang, or special phrases with meanings that perhaps we don't fully understand today. Most of the Latin slang was obscene and would be inappropriate to mention on a family web site. Some phrases that are typically Roman are: When someone comes up with a silly or erroneous idea, they would say "tua toga suspina est" which means your toga is backwards. If a person were very angry, he/she could say "mei capiilli sunt flagrantes" which means my hair is on fire.
