The phrase "Roman holiday" is taken from Byron's poem "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" in reference to a gladiator being "butcher'd to make a Roman holiday." It's come to mean an event at which the spectators take a sadist pleasure in the violence they're watching, and by association, the enjoyment of someone else's bad luck or pain.
