A couple of alleged noun senses ("Preparing a joint", "(often with out) Initiating a journey or a recording") that seem to me to be included in the verb sense ("Present participle of roll").—msh210℠ 22:35, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think any of the noun senses are correct. The third definition is not written like a noun. All three need cleaning up or deleting. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. It does not seem that any of the three noun senses are anything more than the present participle of roll. All three senses seem to occur with unconjugated roll. (Sense 1: "roll a joint" is certainly possible. Sense 2: "let's roll" or "let's roll out". I am not personally familiar with sense 3, but unconjugated roll seems to be attestable in that sense too, as in this student newspaper article, subtitled "To roll or not to roll?", which quotes a student as saying "The day after you 'roll,' you feel like you're completely brain-dead.") However, not all of these senses seem to be encompassed by the definitions currently at roll, so they likely need to be reworded and moved rather than simply deleted. —Caesura(t) 02:07, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Deleted redundant senses, consensus. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: Being under the influence of the psychedelic stimulant MDMA (aka "Ecstasy"). Note we don't have a verb sense for this at role. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- Cited, -ish: the cites I added are actually participial. "RollVERB on ecstasy" is attestable on Google Groups. (A corresponding noun "roll" is also attestable.) —RuakhTALK 14:34, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Striking. I've merged our noun entry into roll#Verb, and deleted rollings. —RuakhTALK 17:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
