What is rick roll?

To send someone a link to 80s pop star Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video, making them believe that they're gonna see something completely different. The meme originated in 4chan's /v/ (videogame) board, when the official "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" trailer was coming out on the game's website but couldn't be watched due to heavy traffic. Playing a prank on everyone who was reading, an anonymous 4chaner said that the trailer was on YouTube and posted a link to Astley's song. Since then, the Rick Roll has been made countless times, not only on 4chan but on the whole of the Internet.

Matt: You gotta check out this new band, it's awesome! Look, here's the video.

Rick Astley: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

Jake: Arrrgh man, you just Rick Rolled me again!

Rick roll - what is it?

A Rick Roll is a link to the Rick Astley music video "Never Gonna Give You Up", which is posted in the middle of a discussion. People click the link and are directed to the video, and are thus "Rick Rolled".

However, a Rick Roll is also a sex move, in which the man (who may sometimes be called Rick) lies on top of the woman (who may sometimes be called Roll) and they lock into each other and roll back and forth on the bed. This move is generally performed while listening to "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

"Yeah, I totally got Rick Rolled last night by some babe."
"I got Rick Rolled twice in under ten minutes."
"I love it when I get Rick Rolled."
