rolling over

Flipping onto back

Rolling over is changing position by turning the body, as when a sleeping person shifts from back to side, or a baby learns to flip from stomach to back.

Animals roll over on command or in submission.

In finance, rolling over means reinvesting maturing funds into a new instrument: She rolled over her 401(k) into an IRA.

To roll over for someone is to yield without resistance: The committee just rolled over for management.
