Get the When the sun goes down mug.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

Get the When in Rome, speak Latin mug.It's an amazing feeling, full of tears and an overwelming sense of love that will drive you crazy and never let you go. This person will enter your life and never leave, even if it is just in your mind. You will lose sleep planning how you'll smile at them, or how what you'll talk about if you happen to bump into them. You'll plan your whole day around them, notice every change in them, every bit of happiness, every bit of sadness and you'll conjure up amazing fantasy's which you know will never come true but you tell yourself that there's always room for dreaming. You'll want to talk about them all the time, discretely of course, mentioning them as much as possible, practicing how their name will roll of your tounge, you might even try putting your surname on their name or the other way round. It may seem like i'm describing obsession, but it's really just love.
'When the person you love will never love you back...' 'I haven't slept for weeks thinking of how i love them so much yet the have no idea..'

Get the When the person you love will never love you back... mug.A not so subtle reference to Attorney General William Barr flying all over the world to investigate “Deep State” politics and international connections to it.
Of course it is entirely improbable that Attorney Generals travel all over the world to look into screwball conspiracy theories, but AG Barr has made the improbable come true, so we can now say “when pigs fly” and really mean it!
