[@TwelveOf8] Ok so I looked up some 50's slang and there's one that goes

"come on snake, let’s rattle!"

This can mean two things; you're asking a partner to dance or you're asking for a fight.

So imagine Rolo asking Corrine to dance but she ends up punching him in the face because she doesn't understand that it can also mean dancing instead of just fighting. She only knows it one way from her brother Antonio since he was a bad egg.
