Contributor's comments: I first heard this back in the 1980s used by my uncle on the Central Coast (NSW). He came home from the shops and said he'd bought, amongst other things, some date roll. Being unfamiliar with the term I imagined it to be some type of bun or cake with dates. Later on in the arvo my aunt asked me what I was hunting for in the kitchen - when I told her "date roll" she killed herself laughing.
