When in Rome, speak Latin
a parody of the phrase "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", this phrase means ( used in a nice, non-belliugerent way):
"if you want to integrate into, and be a part of, polite society, behave, as a rule of thumb, like most other people of your age, gender and/or social status behave in your society in your zeitgeist"
"if you want to integrate into, and be a part of, polite society, behave, as a rule of thumb, like most other people of your age, gender and/or social status behave in your society in your zeitgeist"
a boy with almost no friends comes home from high school and starts conmplaining to his father:
boy: dad, why don't i have any friends my age?
father: pragmatically speaking, Brandon, I thing you are not applying correctly my famous cherry-phrase "when in Rome, speak Latin." IMHO it's doesn't take Albert einstein to figure out why you have no friends: you don't do, at least after school, what most other boys your age are doing. All you do after class is watch porn, argue with your mother and sisters as to whether or not to do your chemistry, and help Mr. and Mrs. Philips, our generous elderly neighbors, with their gardening.
boy: But that's what I have always done. Wait so you have contradicted yourself, because humans are creatureses of habit, psychologically and biologically speaking.
father (ignoring Brandon's interruption): However, most boys your age, after class, date their girlfriends, play football and maybe monkey hoops, play the saxophone or another musical instrument a la Lisa Simpson, maybe hang out with their friends and look for trouble a la Bart Simpson and Nelson Muntz, maybe even play marbles. Some young men your age even go to bars/clubs and get a refreshing drink after a hard day's work. Go and do some of the things I've mentioned and you'll make friends tic-tac-toe
boy: (imitating homer simpson): D' Oh. so no wonder then I feel and act like a white crow

person a) my neighbor is such a Falun Gong, he not only belongs to an organization fighting for compensation for the descendants of Chinese immigrants brought to slave on our West Coast (both Canada and The US) Pacific Railway, he also happens to be a Democrat, and I am Republican to the bone marrow.
person b) nah, whoever this guy is, just let him be, as he is not infringing on your Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech and Expression. maybe fund your own political movement that would aim to remove all vietnamese mafia memebrs involved in the drug trade from The US; the ATF and DEA will be happy thought.
person a) sounds like a plan to me, man, thanks.

boy 1) my parents are devout Anglicans, and involved with their church and everything, but for some reason I don't find Anglicanism as meaningful to my rational day to day existence. Should I become a Muslim, or a Roman Catholic, or an atheist?
boy 2) Since in Canada Church and State are separate, this is completely up to you William.
William : Since it takes me a long time to make up my mind when it comes to anything and everything anyways, on this issue I'll become a dukhobor and reach a decision eventually.

dump-clothes
an insulting expression to use on a person, meaning " i don't your clothes, or the way you dress in my presence."
Even if it is sometimes used to send someone a social cue, that that they indeed di go to local dump to get soemthing to wear, the answer to such an insult should be get a school uniform and eat your own cheese.

a Harry Potter walks out of his room and into the kitchen. His aunt Petunia is screaming, rather shrieking, at him: get out of here, you ridiculous dump-clothes! Haven't Vernon and I taught you how to dress properly? how dare you go out like this on a date with Hermione?
Harry: since when are you, roflmao, interested in what Hermione thinks about my dress code? Other than that, please get a school uniform and eat your own cheese.
Aunt Petunia: same to you dear (physically throws him a piece of cheese from the kitchen table)
Harry: either you eat bacon, or youh are wrong. I am so not wasting my time with you. I have other cats to skin. (Harry disapparates, leaving aunt Petunia stunned).

boy a) have you heard of the Mumba-yumba tribe, it's somewhere in Africa, if i am not mistaken. Would you know if they have a Sanchedrin, as in a legal counsil.
boy b) sorry dude, you are barking up the wrong tree. I am a history, not an anthropology, major, so therefore your question is not my whiskey. but what I can tell you however, is that this summer my grandparents are going to a Latin Sanchedrin.
boy a) you mean your comouter-illityerates are going to a summer camp for the elderly, where all they do is speak Latin to each other?

mother: I don't see the point of celebrating St Valentines any longer; your father din't get me anything this year.
teenage son: St Valentines is a meaningless capitalist holiday, where companies just profit from people uselessly wasting money buying flowers, chocolates and the entire spiel for their significant others. I would personally also shoot anyone who celebrates St Valentines, as in Al Capone and his St Valentines Day Massacre.
mother (sreaming at her son): you moron, this was a rhetorical comment... Oh, and btw, I didn't ask you to haze yourself. you just made a fool of yourself; you've proven to everyone here you don't understand, for the life of you, the difference between a question and a rhetorical comment. Didn't you say you liked socialism , since you called St Valentines a meaningless, useless capitalist holiday, and then you turned around and said, as a matter of oikos, that you were going to shoot, Al Capone-style, anyone who celebrates St Valentines, but in The United States of America shooting someone, and respecting the infalibility of the Second Amendment is a matter of oikos. Therefore, you believe in bringing your own arms and weapons to the fight, and therefore support capitalism. But you can't support socialism and capitalism at the same time.
