Probably just how + one + rolls. Can be re-expressed as "the way one rolls", "how does he roll", "how can you roll like that"?, etc. ---> Tooironic 12:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it can be altered that much and retain its meaning. It barely works with nouns instead of pronouns for "one". The question is whether "roll" has this meaning outside this expression. We have forced out a sense at [[roll#Verb]], but I'm not convinced by the made-up usage example. The quotation has "how we roll". DCDuring TALK 13:00, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do hear "X [do]'nt [roll] that way", which is a specific transformation of the core idiom. DCDuring TALK 13:05, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also with auxiliaries. DCDuring TALK 13:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sense of (deprecated template usage) roll could use a looking at. DCDuring TALK 22:28, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted. No opposition.--Jusjih (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
