Taking on the Roll 

Committing one's time to a job or task that goes beyond what is required for the sole purpose of acquiring currency or favor. A step above, "getting this bread".
I just started this job but I am taking on the roll. I'm not just getting some bread, I'm taking on the whole roll.

Beyoncé is on a roll. Her latest, another "visual album" with corresponding videos in the mold of her 2013 self-titled set, renders infidelity and reconciliation with a cinematic vividness.

Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape on an l on her forehead.

The first verse of the song "Smash Mouth" by "All Star"
"Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape on an l on her forehead."
Bob: "WHAT IS THIS?"
Sharyl: "GOD'S SINGING VOICE"
Bob: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" *eyes melt out of head*

we built this city on rock and roll

a phrase from We Built This City, a song from Starship, a band who in previous incarnations had been known as Jefferson Starship, and previously to that, Jefferson Airplane... Some folk despise this song, maybe rightly so, because in their 1960's incarnation as Jefferson Airplane, this band was one of the ones from that era that mattered.

On a Rob Roll 

Where a person can consume a large amount of alcohol, usually wine, and suddenly become unusually good at whatever activity the person is performing/participating in. This does not include drunken 'relations' with another person as this is impossible following alcohol binging or with a person who is a 2 pint rob.
Bloody hell he's drunk 6 mini bottles of wine and bowled his tenth strike!
