Roman Empire
Declining⏳OutdatedDefinition
Something you think about constantly, referencing the viral TikTok trend where women asked men how often they think about the Roman Empire (answer: surprisingly often). Now used to describe any recurring thought or obsession.
Translation for Parents
There was a TikTok trend where women discovered that men think about the Roman Empire weirdly often. Now 'my Roman Empire' means 'the thing I can't stop thinking about.' Yours is probably a home renovation project or a sports play from 2003.
Examples
“That embarrassing thing I said in 2019 is my Roman Empire”
“I can't stop thinking about that embarrassing thing I said in 2019”
“How often do you think about the Roman Empire?”
“What's the random topic you think about way too often?”
Cringe Score
Your kid will cringe
This meme has run its course but the concept is evergreen. Saying 'that's my Roman Empire' in conversation is still understandable, just slightly dated.
