The internet slang term “When In Rome” means that if you find yourself in a certain situation or environment, you should behave or adapt to it in a similar way to everyone else around you, even if it’s different from what you normally do or prefer. It suggests that it’s better to follow the customs or norms of a particular place or group to fit in or avoid standing out.
Examples:
1. I usually don’t like wearing formal clothes, but everyone else at the wedding was dressed up, so I thought, “When In Rome” and put on a suit to blend in with the rest.
2. I was invited to a fancy restaurant where they serve exotic dishes. Not being a fan of adventurous cuisine, I hesitated. However, I decided to try their specialties since it was a unique experience. I thought, “When In Rome,” and ordered the chef’s recommendation.
List:
When invited to a country where people greet with a kiss on the cheek, “When In Rome,” do the same to show respect and acceptance of their customs.
Visiting a foreign website, if you notice everyone using certain abbreviations or acronyms in their conversations, “When In Rome,” adopt those to communicate more effectively and blend in.
