"When in Rome."
I still don't understand that phrase.
You serious? Or are you quoting anchorman?
When in Rome, you do as the Romans do. Means wherever you are, do what the locals do or what is the normal behavior.

Seems that wouldn't apply if one wasn't in Rome. In all honesty I have no plans of going to Rome. Foreign lands frighten me.

Was at a Brave's game a couple of weeks ago in the 755 Club. A waitress walked up to take our drink order and asked "how's it hanging?" I started laughing and she looked at me puzzled because she had no idea what the literal interpretation of that phrase meant.

I think it just means attach it.

Slightly to the left, thanks for asking. I'll take a gin and tonic.

" -ception"
When there is something inside something.
In the movie Inception, there is a principle that is a dream within a dream, but inception is something entirely different in the story line.
Should be _____ within a _____. And leave it at that.
