English term or phrase: This should go over well
Ciao, sto traducendo un testo di narrativa che dice così: Mom is a sex guru and my father is a pastor. This should go over well. Not.

Secondo la storia, la mamma e il papà non si sopportano perché troppo diversi e per questo si solo lasciati. Potreste aiutarmi? Grazie.
