How it's used
Used primarily for objects that move by rotating along a surface, such as wheels, balls, or cylindrical items. It carries a sense of continuous, smooth motion rather than a sudden tumble. When applied to people, it often implies an undignified or clumsy way of moving, like rolling on the floor.
