rocker
n.

A person who preferred to listen and dance to rock 'n roll music than that favoured by their avowed enemies the 'mods'. Rockers generally wore tight trousers or jeans, with thick soled shoes and had longish hair often greased back into D.A. hairstyles. The rocker was actually the 1960's successor of the 'Teddy Boy' of the 1950's, who in turn had been the inheritors of the style from the pre-WW2 'Vicky Boys'.

Rockers also preferred the less than subtle charms of the motorbike which helped earn them the additional derogatory nickname of Greasers.

rocket
n.

(ed: added verbatim - couldn't improve this): "One is often referred to as a 'rocket' after making a ridiculous suggestion. "Why don't we do our homework at tea-time on Friday then we can have the week-end to ourselves?" "Bolt ya rocket!" "Ya fuckin' rocket!" Do you see?

There was also a practice of responding to a ridiculous suggestion with a words-and-pictures composition. "Ask your mum to go for the carry-out," would be greeted with, first,"a-rocket!" then holding the right arm at the elbow to the waist and brushing it past the ear (reminiscent of my own school's 'spazzy' motion) in shooing-away-wasp action coupled with loud raspberry. Rarely seen masterpiece."'

rocks
adj.

Used to describe something that is very 'cool' or 'super' or 'great', etc.! We typically use it when we are excited at the result of some action that turns out very positive and successful. It is intended as a compliment of the highest degree. ie. When a coworker produces something that is technically sound, works extremely well and is well received - we might say 'you rock!' or 'that rocks!'. Drew Cary uses it in his theme song: 'Cleveland Rocks!'.

rocky roofs
colloq.

In Australia, when we were kids, and most people had tin/iron roofs, we used to throw a rock on the roof, and run like hell!! Used to make a helluva noise, especially on a clear night. It was worse if you were inside the house...a good throw meant the rock would clatter down the roof, until it reached the gutter, or fell over the edge.

roger
adj.

Term used to refer to someone who was "not quite there" or stupid. Came from a very bad '70's made for tv movie with Julie Kavner (now Marge Simpson) and "John-Boy" from the Waltons. They played two mentally retarded adults who wanted to have a child. Julie spent a good deal of the film moaning "woggggggah" thus, the word is pronounced woggggah, not 'Roger'. God kids are cruel.
