it basically means ceaze (sps?) the oppurtunity. Like, as long as your already doing something, go seeper. "When in rome do as the romans do," As long as you're in rome, take your chance.

If you're visiting a place (like rome), you are supposed to assimilate to the local culture (like the romans). This originated because Rome was at one time the center of Europe's civilization.

It's short for: "When in rome, do as the Romans do". It means when you're at a place where a particular thing is acceptable, it's okay for you to do said thing.

From wikipedia.org:
"The phrase "When in Rome" is associated with the proverb "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" which is used to advise people to adapt to the culture of places that they visit."

when in rome, do as the romans... i believe is the correct phrase. It means do as is customary wherever you are (like if you visit a foreign culture for example).
