NOUN · NOT ABOUT ROME
Something you think about surprisingly often, as in “that film is my Roman Empire”. It comes from a 2023 trend where people asked men how often they think about the Roman Empire, and many said “every day”.
ZACK’S TRANSLATION
A random obsession that visits you daily, uninvited, like an ancient civilisation or that thing you said in 2014.
“That one awkward hug is my Roman Empire.”
It lasted two seconds. You’ve thought about it for four years.
“Dad’s Roman Empire is the 1998 World Cup.”
Do not ask him. You will be there until dinner.
“What’s your Roman Empire?”
Rent. It’s rent.
