Get the Keyboard Romeo mug.A slang term popular in early/mid 1980s Germany and Austria, which was the equivalent of the English term, "Yuppie". This neologism was used in much the same way to mock a new wave of American-influenced young urban sophisticate twenty-somethings in Austria and West Germany at the time.
Translated from German, "junge Römer" means "young Roman(s)" (the term can denote both singular - when used for a male - and plural), likening the heightened style of living of these young Europeans to that of many of the extravagant upperclass Romans in Rome's Golden Age.
The term was popularized further by Austrian pop/rock singer, Falco, in 1984 with his song by the same name, which glamorized the junge Römer lifestyle (Falco counted himself among this group of people).

From Falco's, Junge Römer:
"Junge Römer, die Nacht ist jung wie ihr,
vergesst das Morgen."
Translation: Young Romans, the night is young like you, forget the morning.

Get the Junge Römer mug.An Italian car company that produces fun, fast sports cars and performance saloons (Sedans). Europeans like them but americans are obviously quite snobby and prefer their instant fuel tank drainers! Alfa Romeo is owned by FIAT and in the beginning AR owned Darraq, a well renowned manufacturer of now vintage cars. Post 1990 Alfa Romeos are a world away from the rusting, unreliable machines they were in the 1960's and can comfortably challenge Mercedes and BMW in europe.

Get the romeo and juliet mug.The full phrase is "When in Rome, do as the Roman's do." But it has become shortened so often, some people don't get it anymore. It's an analogy making use of the strict rule of the ancient Roman empire, and synonomous with "Going with the flow," or doing something because everyone else is doing it.
"Hey, thanks for coming to my party. Do you want a beer?" Said Joe.
"When in Rome," Bob exclaimed, as he poored beer into his cup.
