212/1.25kg is a name for Hennessy White. In this example, the cognac is being identified by its approximate price for an exact amount. You say: “two twelve/one point two five/Kay Gee!!!!!” with an excited emphasis because if you are offered this as a gift; or, served this by a friend for no other reason than friendship — well, that’s just the definition of a good day!
Even if the price goes up, the name doesn’t change because the name is derived from a first experience of purchasing and drinking this wonderful beverage, which — if you need to know — is 40% alcohol by volume. A perfect gift for an old man with “old man knees”.

1) Daughter: what should we get Daddy for his birthday.
Son: You know he liked it last year when we got him some of that 212/1.25kg. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it; and, you know he would never buy that for himself.
2) It is NEVER cool to say “212/1.25 kg — because I like my cognac like I like my women!!!!!”. NEVER!!!!!

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!"

Friend1: "Dude, get your essay done so we can watch the game."
Friend2: "I would, and I know I have to, but I'm stuck in a 212-World right now."

Calling up a clip to prove a point about someone by showing them a clip of something that they had said in the past. Started by Jon Stewart in his interview with Jim Cramer.
JS: I’m sorry You’re absolutely right. I always wish that people would swear themselves in before they came on the show. I’ve had a lot of CEO’s lie to me on the show. It’s very painful. I don’t have subpoena power.
JS: But don’t—You’re pretending that you are a dew-eyed innocent. Watch. Roll. I mean, if I may…
JC: It’s your show for Heaven’s sake.
JS: Roll 212.
JC: No! Not 2:12!
