senor faldaje says: I'd have to hear Huggy use the phrase in context


Okay, it seems you're all correct, in various ways. here's the libretto, nearest i can remember it:

Hugby, to contractor who is set to remodel the billards room which contains a 5-year old big screen; the new version will contain a media center to hold the TV: "well i think i'll just roll that TV and get a widescreen digital so that the cabinet can be built to the proper dimensions"

i took it to mean necessarily purchasing the replacement, but after reading your collective responses i've asked hugby for some clarification, and this is what i've gleaned:

"roll means to turn, to move, to change ~ roll it over and bring a new one in. it's a circular thing ~ out with the old in with the new. it can be a drug reference; "roll it to so and so"; quickly turn it to cash.

"it's also a reference to putting it on wheels and rolling it outta here, get top dollar while you still can."

In answer to your question, wwh ~ the region where this term was/is so common is right next to yours: Venice Beach!
