ROM stands for roasted over email. I hope to popularize the phrase, in the hope it will be used. SO USE IT. Just kidding, you don't have to. Anyway, ROM is typically used in a setting where you break the silence in an email chain, and someone proceeds to then roast you with a reply coming after you closed what you were using to view email. Is very annoying, and almost always happens on the dot, or a few minutes after your stop viewing email. It is also usually something you don't even find offensive or a roast, but the other people on the email chain think it is funny or acknowledge it as a roast. To be used in the form ROMed.
"Well, this email chain is pretty dead." - Person A, 21:39
"your mom is pretty dead" - Person B, 21:52
"oh roasted" - Person C, 21:56
"LOL you just got burned to a crisp" - Person D, 22:02
"thanx ill be here all night" - Person B, 22:09
"Kill me now. I just got ROMed." - Person A, 22:13
Person A just got ROMed by Person B, and Persons C and D acknowledged it.

A class of urban hipster, fond of Beatlesque "mod" haircuts and white belts. The term is a contraction of "Romulan", an alien race from the original Star Trek series, possesing similar stylistic hallmarks. Later iterations took up a fondness for retro sneakers, t-shirts, pants, and updated variations on plastic frame glasses reminiscent of the 50's era.
Rom: "I can't wait to see The Make Up open for Trail of Dead! That show is gonna be deck. Are ther any more Parliament Lights behind that Pabst Blue Ribbon can? What?! What are you looking at?"
Dude: (shaking head) "You are such a Rom..."
