“ Li mortacci is basically a vulgar Roman way of saying, well, I guess something like “may your dead relatives die again,” although I really don’t know for sure. Let’s just say it’s an all-purpose curse on your dead loved ones, or the dead loved ones of anyone or anything you care to insult. You say it when you’re ticked about what something or someone did, does, has, is, etc. And for a true Roman flourish, go ahead and pronounce the “L” like an “R” ‘cuz that’s just what they do around here. (All together now: “ree-more-TAH-chee”)
