The Rock is a term, used by the Manx locals, in the tiny, Celtic island country the Isle of Man (aka Mann, Isle of Mann, Island of Mannanin or Ellan Vannin) to refer to the island. It is such a small country in the middle of the Irish Sea that it's fondly referred to as the rock, in reference to it's size.
It is not a term known well world wide, except to Manx ex-pats or fans of the annual biker festival and TT Races.

Hello yessir! Heard you'd been on holiday. When did you get back to the rock?
.....
Hey, you can raise your eyebrow just like The Rock does.

Man Rock, the unofficially acclaimed genre name for heavy metal/ rock. Most Man Rock bands have a slight country voice with a harder twist and sometimes catchy lyrics. Heavy melodic guitar and drums that make a grow man emotional like they’re watching an naruto AMV from 2008. This includes bands like Nickleback, Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Godsmack. Men that listen to Man Rock most likely will be wearing metal mulisha fitted caps backwards to their eyebrows, most have a huskier build, XXL T-shirts or fitted T’s that have been worn for years, large puffy skate shoes like DC and DVS’s or sandals, and jorts with a wallet chain.

Coined by a local hobo overheard during WABC7NY coverage of the 1993 failure of the Sonic the Hedgehog Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon, this appears to be a term related to what the man was smoking out of his crystal meth pipe when he saw the balloon deflate.
"Jeepers creepers! I gotta stop blazing this Coney Island Rock Salt! It looks like that big fucking balloon is coming right towards me!"
