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.

(phrase) When in Rome, do the Romans.
Used to describe the feeling you have when you visit a new city, and can't believe your eyes as you gaze upon hoards of beautiful women and handsome men so different from your previous girlfriends/boyfriends. This attraction may occur due to stark differences in looks, ethnicity, language, culture, clothing, or blue-balls for a long long time. By law, you are required to sleep with at least one localite to make your trip a success.

Something to say when you don't understand what someone is trying to tell you. Can also mean "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" but more often people don't know what it means and say it anyway. Similar to touche
girl: you were great last night.
guy: you know, when in rome....

When in Rome you must live as the Romans do.
If you don't have any money then you can pay
with your body. (work hard)
if you're in an awkward situation try looking around
and copying everyone else so you don't look weird.
Do what you have to in order to make it through the day
When in Rome you must do as the Romans do.
If do don't know what to do during a big party
just do what everyone else is doing. Then you
should blend in and be ok.

Commonly used term, for telling someone that they should do something, or 'get on that' when they have no other explanation, and do not want to offend the poor soul. most frequently used by brunette green-eyed teenage girls.
