I just wrote on another post:- Just had first rumble and was told too much
info! Has it got some sexual meaning, cos I can't find it and I've looked in the urban dictionary too!
I don't know, SirO. I've just woke up. It doesn't seem like yesterday we were laughing at my Dad for falling asleep in his chair. I do it every flipping day now.
One of the obsolete meanings of rumble dating back to the 16th century was, according to The Oxford English Dictionary, (quote), "to toss about in bed or on the ground."
Perhaps someone has decided to resuscitate it, in order to mean precisely that but in a sexual sense rather than a restlessness one!
I've never heard Rumble used in that context - apart from Rumble of Thunder, and tummy rumble, I've only ever heard sort of gangland context as in Fight - "rumble in the jungle", "ready to rumble" etc.
