Roll 212 

The phrase "Roll 212" or any variation thereof was popularly coined after an interview between Jon Stewart of Comedy Central and Jim Cramer of CNBC in a discussion centering around CNBC's complacency leading up to the economic crisis of 2008. Stewart introduced several video segments in a manner much like a criminal prosecutor would present video evidence in court. The phrase is meant to highlight a person's culpability by presenting them with damning evidence.

Stewart: "How do you respond to this video of an ethically dubious conversation during your days as a hedge fund manager?"
Cramer: "Oh that! It was a hypothetical situation exemplifying how traders abuse the market; in no way am I doing anything ethically dubious."
Stewart: "Roll 212."
Cramer: "No, not 212!"
