I hate the phrase “That’s how we roll”. My boss uses it all the time to when she wants to kiss off a company policy. As in, “That may be policy, but we do things different around here. That’s how we roll.” Which really means “It’s too much of a hassle for me, and I’d rather not be bothered.” Yeah, it must be nice to be able to pick and choose which rules to follow.
Good to go.
Cool beans.
What kind of catch phrase is that?
You see me rollin’ - you hatin’ - Is that because I’m too white and nerdy?
Only question I ever thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
It’s SDMB-specific.
Fo’ realz, yo. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say that in years. It was probably around 2004 that I started hearing that phrase, so this whole, “what is up with kids and their crazy verbiage” seems a little late.
On a different but related note, I’ve been deeply immersed in The Wire for about a month now. I find myself often thinking in the idiom that they use on the show. I’m sure by now it’s horribly dated. I love, love, love AAVE. I wish I could keep up on it. I love how clever and fluid it is.
Silly, the phrase originated from the movie “Anchorman”!
Why would I use “that’s how I roll”? Well, it’s how I do.
Alls I can say is that I hope it winds up on the same heap as “da bomb” which until now had been my least favorite abuse of the Mother Tongue."
But then I still say “right on” at moments that make me wish I had thought first.
Will “fuckin’ A” ever be a passe term?
Word up!
Around here it’s been the phrase “tell me why”.
But I myself have a horrible habit of saying “Right?”. I don’t even realize I’m saying it most of the time until one of my heathens or their friends replies with “right?”.
That’s how I/we roll is used more jokingly around here when someone makes an outragous statement. I don’t think I’ve heard it used seriously at least not in the group that camps out at my house. Know what I mean? (Can’t follow that up with Vern with the teens around here cause they look at you stupid) 
This thread is outta sight man!
You know how we do!
True, dat.
I think it’s OK only when it’s used by extremely fat people.
I feel ya!
Excuse me???
Maybe he’s channelling Jethro Tull.
You won’t find me feeling sorry for him
I’ve seen the other side of being thin
Roll us both down a mountain
I’m sure the fat man would win
