The Roman Try

Having absolutely zero knowledge on a topic before the attempt, and stumbling your way through the most chaotic, mentally ill and pyrrhic victory you’ve ever achieved. Subsequently learning almost nothing until halfway through another attempt.
Guy 1: Are you trying to open that?
Guy 2, clearly pushing a pull door: Like scipio and his forefathers, I learn by doing. Observe the Roman try.
Guy 2 pulls the door back only to slam it forwards, breaking the glass and stepping through*

The Roman Empire Roast Game

The fact that Roman families literally ate their own children as their "Saturnalia Feasts" after slaughtering them for not believing in the titular god of agriculture, Saturn.

This is similar to the original "American" Roast Game, but would happen in Roman thousands of years before the original one.

Despite the Earths population at the time, it's estimated that 9 billion Roman babies were consumed between the ages of 0-14 (this is because the age of adults was lower back then). It is believed this population cover up was due in part to a deep state conspiracy involving the Vatican Church, ushering in the Holy Roman Empire.
Citizens of Rome, hear me now! Just as those distant peoples—whom we shall name "Americans"—will, in the fullness of time, some two thousand five hundred years hence, engage in such folly, so too do we, the sons and daughters of this great Empire, partake in mirth and jest. Yet, what they will one day call their own, we have already named and perfected. Behold, it is called *Ludus Imperii Romani*—The Roman Empire Roast Game!

In this noble contest, we test our wits and humor, casting barbs not of war, but of words, and in so doing, we sharpen our minds as the sword does our bodies. Thus, let it be known—though the future may seem distant, we, the Romans, lead the way in laughter as in all things.

Roman Empire

An idea first emerging online that is used to emphasize someone's interest in a topic. It is not associated with the actual Roman Empire besides its origins, and more means "...is something I'm interested in".

This originated from the idea that many men often wonder about the history of the Roman Empire, and women online wondered if they had their own equivalent to the men's "Roman Empire". While originating from women, it's gender non-specific.

This can be used in a sentence similar to phrases like "magnum opus".
"The relationship between Vada and Thomas in "My Girl" is my Roman Empire!"

"The Roman Empire is my Roman Empire."

Roman

Roman is the kindest person you’ll meet. He cares with all of his loving heart, he is patient, he is understanding, and he is altogether the sweetest soul you’ll ever come across. Looks wise? Let me tell you… he’s stunning. His eyes are a dark chocolate that are so enticing you just wanna swim in them like Willy Wonkas chocolate lake. NOT JOKING. His figure...like a greek god. His skin like a soft caramel, the good kind that everyone’s grandma keeps in their purse. Roman is a GOOD person. People use that lightly these days. Roman is precious. So is his heart.
*some random guy* YO HAVE YOU SEEN ROMAN?

*someone that doesn’t know THE Roman* Uhhhh no? Who even is that?”
*the random guy* Dude. Let’s find him together so I can introduce you to the most pure soul you’ll ever meet in your LIFE
*someone that doesn’t know Roman yet* Oh, BET”
