The anecdote which I read was about the student helping a girl to carry her suitcase. Though the suitcase is with wheels, the student carry it on the back with difficulty. So the girl said:
背不动就滚吧
The phrase has a double meaning:”if you cann’t carry it on the back, roll it” or “if you cann’t carry it on the back – “roll yourself”/go away.
Vocabulary:
背bēi to carry on the back
不bù no
动dòng to move
就jiù at once; then; right away; only; (emphasis); to approach; to move towards; to undertake
滚gǔn to roll
吧 ba positive suggestion: right? OK?
