    I always assumed it was "know your role" and "slow your roll"

    Newsflash, slang isn't grammatically correct.

    No offense, but white people wouldn't even use this phrase if it weren't for us. It's role. Trust me.

    So true, which means you should be resigned as the head writer for the S2 dictionary and phrase book.

    Just understand that your lives are enriched by our slang. English appropriates language and idioms from all languages.

    NBA.com started this season keeping track of screen assists. I didn't check Vonleh, but Nurkic ranks high in screen assists.

    You can use what you want, but the bottom line is that it's just another idiom that been appropriated.

    Another thing that bugs me. Remember when we put butter on hot rolls? Then, we had to use margarine. Now, we just rub our rolls in the grass for flavor.

    This is what bugs me.

    Most BB fans do not know the difference between resigned and re-signed. Or Dviss1 probably would not have liked my post above.

    I don't trust you on this. I'm right. It's roll, as in truckers slang for moving too fast. Like someone is doing in a conversation. It's rolling off the tongue too fast. Slow your roll.

    I knew you meant re-signed. Using resigned is not grammatically correct.

    I resigned. I didn't get resigned.
