Rolling
Wheels in motion
Rolling describes continuous rotational or cyclical motion.
A rolling ball turns as it moves; rolling hills rise and fall in smooth succession.
Rolling thunder rumbles continuously.
A rolling start begins while already in motion.
Something done on a rolling basis happens continuously rather than all at once: Admissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.
To be rolling in money is to have plenty of it.
Let's get this party rolling.
