Slow your roll

A reddit meme

Meta/u/(person1) and /u/(person2): Slow your roll

You two like to post a bunch of things about __________ from _______ and the like. While I personally don't enjoy the content, you aren't breaking any rules, so my qualms are irrelevant.
That being said, I do feel like there's a bit of an issue when I check /r/________ and I'm met with pages of posts by (/u/insert name here) or (/u/insert other name here), with occasional breaks to show a post by someone else. You guys are obviously new-ish to this subreddit, so I'll explain you a thing. /r/_________ has always operated with ____ posts, (other thing i.e dank memes), and other such (insert post type)posts. These are now being absolutely buried by the nigh hourly posted links to "neat _________"
Clearly I'm in the minority here when I say this, judging from the upvotes you guys suck from lurkers. Though perhaps you will listen to an important figure here. (Note how I pretend that being important means I post comments here sometimes and more than 10 people know I exist.) I'm not asking you to stop, It's nice to have more posts, I just don't want it blotting out the (post type(s)) posts. ________ brought me to the sub, the _______ made me stay. This is true for many of us here, even if such a statement seems alien to veteran Redditors outside of /r/______.

runaway roll

Refers to an inadequately-perforated and/or too-lightweight spool of paper towels or toilet-tissue. When you try to merely tear off a few sheets by giving the end of the roll a moderate yank, the paper does not separate the way you expected, and so the roll just wastefully whizzes off yards and yards all over the place, obliging you to fumingly remove the messily-bunched-up wad from the holder and tediously re-roll the paper inch-by-inch back onto the core again.

I do indeed prefer to purchase the "bargain basement" tissue-paper rolls from the supermarket or department store --- especially if they have a sale on the huge 20-roll "bales" --- but I find that a lot of times they are "runaway rolls"... the company goofed when they punched the rolls' perforations, and so that's largely why they're being sold off so cheaply.

Roll the Dice

To roll the dice can also mean to take a calculated chance. It does not necessarily bear the same risk as in a game of chance on a casino table. Companies take on commercial risks to grow their business in a highly competitive environment. It is a gamble that has the elements of both luck and ability - chances taken based on years of experience in particular trade and careful study of the marketplace.

A traditional Chinese restaurant wants to grow its business. It decides to roll the dice on its successful menu by introducing European delicacies as side dishes. As the Chinese saying goes: The word "Weiji" means both danger and opportunity.

night roll

Hey man , it’s not raining over there, it’s just the night rolling in.
