- The word ром is a homonym for the instrumental case of the word рот, which means 'mouth'. In certain contexts, a sentence could literally mean both 'by the rum' and 'by the mouth'.
- While ром is masculine, the most famous Russian spirit водка is feminine, meaning the grammar changes completely when switching between these two drinks.
- Because ром is a direct loanword from English, it follows the same phonetic patterns and does not have a unique Slavic root.
