<p>[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 146221, member: 85"]Had to look it up. From Wiki</p><p><i><b>De gustibus non est disputandum</b>, or <b>de gustibus non disputandum est</b>, is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin" rel="nofollow">Latin</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_%28saying%29" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_%28saying%29" rel="nofollow">maxim</a> meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally "about tastes, it should not be disputed/discussed"). The implication is that everyone's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that cannot be right or wrong, so they should never be argued about as if they were. Sometimes the phrase is expanded as De gustibus et coloribus... referring to tastes and colors. The phrase is most commonly rendered in English as "There is no accounting for taste" (or "There is no accounting for tastes").</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
