Why do Brits say "rocking up"?
-
From the verb 'rock' meaning to move back and forth, and usually means arriving late or unannounced. It came from rock n roll in the 60s. Before that it was common to say 'roll up'.
-
Oh weird, Americans stuck with the roll and Europeans went with the rock. 😂

Brits don't like to be associated with the European rabble 😬

Nearby? I've only heard it from people in that general region before.
