Slovak term or phrase: posledné 2 výkriky
Preštudovali sme ETICKÝ KÓDEX a všetci sme krútili hlavami načo sa vynakladajú financie zbytočne. .... - učili sme sa tam bubnovať a chodiť po žeravom uhlí. To sú iba *posledné 2 výkriky*, ktoré nemajú nič spoločné s článkami etického kódexu.

I think I have a rough idea what this means. Would like your suggestions. Thanks.

"bubnovať a chodiť po žeravom uhlí" - these sound like 'crazes' to me.

Yes, of course. What I meant was I was not sure if craze could be used in plural...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. "Craze" is appropriate here. Yes, "the latest craze" is a set phrase in English, and here I'm inclined to change it to "the latest two crazes".
