So, how would you say "The science is too bookish and nerdy to understand, oh no!" in Latin? My attempt would be "Scientia ita litteraria et incircumscripta est, ut non possit comprehendi, oh non!".

I know a Latin teacher who likes to use umbraticus (someone who loves to stay in the shade, idly) for 'nerd' - at the very least a funny word choice Jun 8 at 20:22
