Sounds to me like “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

_via_  
“When not here, but instead, in Italy, use the Italians’ system.”

_and eventually onward to_  
“From here the Italy, system Italy.”

Hmmm… this might work well on this very board, as in “I hope we don’t see the Pitification of GD” or “Your IMHO post was a Piticism so it will be moved to the Pit”

Not ragging the mods at all, just making up words.
