"So what? Others do and that's ok, but when I do - they roll over me!" Explanation: "So what? Others do and that's ok, but when I do - they roll over me!" or "Why you round on me? It's ok when others do this crap, why you round on ME when I do just a little thing like this?" the meaning is - I've been caught doing something stupid, silly, not good and I got reprimand for this, and I realize that other people did the same or even much worse things but never been caught and reprimanded. And I don't like it. I try to say that my silly thing was just nothing compare to those of others. At the same time I know that I was wrong and I had not to do this silly thing. |

Usually followed by something like "Not much, you?," "Nothing much," or even answered with a "Hey man, how's it going?" syn: How's it going? What is new? A question that means "hi" or "What are you doing" It can get annoying, but people don't seem to understand that.
