Roll the ads!

1. Begin a process. Another way of saying "get it rolling" but in film terms.
2. Getting a task started that nobody likes doing, but that needs to be done before moving forward: like copying boilerplate code or raising funds.

This was likely first a confusion from the phrase "roll the film", and the idea of rolling the advertisements that come at the beginning of publicly screened films at most movie theaters.

"Hey dad, I know you told your boyfriend you'd be at his place by 8, but before you get drinking, mom's attorney really needs you to review and sign the divorce paperwork."
"Oh fine, roll the ads!"

Marijuana Roll

When you use chop sticks to hold a freshly rolled joint to smoke, much like one were to eat sushi.

My Japanese friend and I were smoking a joint around the table, then he picked it up with some chop sticks and says “check it out it’s a marijuana roll”

Danish Roll

Noun; 1. the fat roll that hangs over female tourists' too-small tube tops. Usually seen above the Muffin Top and Moose Knuckle resulting from her too-tight short shorts.
2. a miniature, compacted version of a delicious breakfast pastry.

1: "Wow, the extra small tube top on that mother of three is giving her such a huge Danish Roll, I think her kids could use it as a pillow."
2: "Hey girl, be careful where you swing that Danish Roll. You might knock somebody over."
3: "Dude, I'm starving, but can't get too full because I'm skydiving later. You up for a Danish Roll?"
