Can anyone tell me what "Tum podex carmen extulit horridulum" means in English?
I can't find it anywhere!

With good reason! "Then his bottom uttered a rude song." Except that "podex" is more specific than "bottom," but you get the idea. In other words, "he/she f@rted." And the Latin looks right for a change.
I can't find out for sure, but it may be from "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco. He used a lot of Latin in there.
