Originally a black slang term for fornication with vigour (sex). The term was adopted by early rock n' roll DJs (mostly white) who used it to describe the hybrid R&B/Country we have all come to know and drink beer to. The term also probably contributed to the parental angst of the 1950's adding to the "evil" reputation of those "nasty rock n' rollers".
That woman wore me out... All she wanted to do was rock and roll all night long!

The phenomenon which began in the 50's with the combination of rhythm and blues, country music, and gospel. It was pioneered by Chuck Berry, transformed by The Beatles, hardened by Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, and through the course of the 70's evolved into the pinnacle of musical glory.
Since then, it has lost the "Roll" and degenerated into "Rock" a generic term for all manners of crappy, modern, guitar driven music that has nothing to do with the messages, anthems, and ideals of old. Rather than professing a belief in the "Livin' easy, livin' free" lifestyle professed by AC/DC and their contemporaries, "Rock" now aims to piss and moan as much as possible whilst backed by horrible, rehashed guitar and pre-pubescent vocals about slutty girlfriends and cannabus.
AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are both gods in the pantheon of Rock 'n' Roll

Similar to a Larry Tate but it takes a 2nd guy to rub his nuts on the rim of the glass, hence the "on the rocks" part.
Steve and Bob were so fed up with Jim bossing them around they gave him a Larry Tate on the rocks when he left the table.

One who listens to classic rock, even with all the fads of new rock. they appreciate good bands and lyrics that are just amazing. they agree there is a reason that the bands are still popular 40+ years later.

Term for drying out after an alcohol soaked period. (A lizzard drying out on a hot rock).
After this weekend I need to find a hot rock.

And adjective term to describe beat up, broke ass, dirty, makeshift clothing, furniture and appliances. Not necessarily a compliment.
Man, those shoes are totally punk rock, you must shop at Ross Dress for Less.
I like how you duct taped that hole in your ceiling to fix it from leaking, that's pretty punk rock.
