If English isn't your first language, you must be really sheltered to not know the sexual idiom that "rolling around" is.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

Is English your first language? Because you appear not to realize that a phrase can be an idiom, but an idiom can also have a literal interpretation. For example, if I'm guessing how many jellybeans are in a jar and I get the exact number correct, I've hit the nail on the head. If I'm putting together a bookshelf and I pick up a hammer and nail together two boards, I've also hit the nail on the head.

Not everything that might be an idiom IS the idiom. You have to go by context.

I think there's a difference between rolling around/cuddling and fucking somebody.

I roll around with my dog and we're not boning, but she is a nice cuddler and it's fun and cozy.

It can be used as a sexual idiom, but it does not necessarily have to be. I can see why someone might have thought that OP meant it in a sexual way, definitely, but I think it's more likely that OP meant it in a non-sexual way, and I understood it in that way, and I don't think there was anything wrong or misleading in that usage.

Ooh, semantics wank! This should be fun.

*makes popcorn*

[(Anonymous)]

It's not really so much a semantics debate as it is one person who thinks they understand what an idiom is, but doesn't really. I'm just not sure if they're ignorant, or trolling.

Hmm.

NA

The fact that the secret poster wrote 'on' rather than 'with', along with the simile, made me assume that they meant it literally, rather than idiomatically.

But what about Tumblr, anon

What about Tumblr

Re: Hmm.

ayrt

The evil that lurks in the heart of the internet (until the next thing, at least)?

Since Tumblr does not seem to understand what literally means (yeah, okay, it's not just Tumblr), I suppose I can explain - it is when the words actually mean what they mean - they are not figurative or metaphorical or a euphemism for anything. Like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbQD3tjOLow, with secret poster in place of the cat and a shirtless Sam in place of the sunlit concrete.
