Slang: Roughings
In our world of humor and tongue-lashing, we hear a term that often gets overlooked but is actually quite funny - "roughings." What's this? It's the term for taking a tumble, especially on someone who stands too close to you.
Imagine a situation where you're sitting in a crowded restaurant and are about to order something when two people approach your table. One person starts to talk loudly while staring at you, as if they want to get their own slice of your food. However, the other person takes the initiative to offer a hearty "roughing" and say, "Hey, why don't you go grab your friends? They've all gone back to their seats."
As you sit there, trying not to laugh out loud because it's too funny, you realize that this is just one of those things you can do without even thinking about. It's a harmless gesture, like saying hello in English or greeting someone at the grocery store, and yet, it's so awkward for others.
Example Sentence:
"I'm sorry, but I think we're having trouble finding some roughings," my friend, who is in the kitchen, says, as she approaches me. "Just ignore her."
You might have a laugh right there, considering this is just a fun and harmless way to greet someone, but what if you were having an argument with them? You might find yourself saying something like, "You really want some roughings
