good room

The room in your elderly relatives' house where the fancy furniture and ornaments are kept, and as a child you are banned from playing or even entering at all. A typically Australian phenomenon, The Good Room is often so protected from inappropriate traffic, that it is barely used at all.

Take those filthy shoes off, Brayden. And don't go in The Good Room!

Room 107

The meth capital of the world. Located at a motel in Brokeville, Oklahoma. All the crackheads in the city have lived in this room at one point or another and this room is now very renowned. The room also has some very luxurious amenities such as a free cig that you will find on the ground as soon as you walk into the room. It is a blessing to enter this room and you should consider yourself blessed if you get the chance.

Post Malone was in Brokeville over the weekend and came to this motel, due the his crackhead appearance, his ass was given Room 107 and I think he was real impressed because he felt at home.

get a room

Derisive or humorous comment said to couples engaged in heavy-duty PDA (e.g. swapping spit in the middle of a party) that means your wanton lust is making me uncomfortable (or jealous). The implication is you should get a motel room because you're practically doing it here.

Get a room you two love birds! We're trying to watch the game here.

Elephant in the room

A very American saying, that is a metaphor for something that people do not want to discuss.

Popularised in the UK by Loose Women guest panellist Alexandra Burke.

Ah, there's an Elephant in the room,
Ah, though we're all alone,
It's not just me and you
