(v., intr. verb phrase) 1. to travel needlessly out of one's way for the sake of variety. 2. unnecessary flourishes or elaborations. 3. making a point, and then adding several paragraphs' worth of examples, detail, instruction, or warnings (while remaining entirely oblivious to the fact that the listener already understands) until the speaker is satisfied that the point has gotten across (often 15 or 20 minutes later). (from my wife's habit of driving around our cul-de-sac to help melt or at least flatten the snow drifts in winter; my daughter noticed that sometimes she drives around the cul-de-sac out of habit well into the spring. She (my daughter) calls it "melting the rocks.")
Примеры использования:
"So, once you've opened ..." "OKAY! Okay! I get it---you've explained this three times now. You're just melting the rocks."
