"Catch!" was very common! You can find some uh, really specific examples too though. Nothing quite like a bored soldier with a basic level of literacy!
In the case of Perusia, the news was a bit more sophisticated: “You’re done for, Lucius Antonius, you baldy”, “I seek Octavian’s ass”, “I seek Fulvia’s clitoris”.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
