I'm using a business English textbook for my English study. All dialogues in it are conversations at work. In a dialogue I was studying yesterday, there was the phrase, "We are ready to rock and roll."
Rock and roll?!?! I was surprised because I couldn't associate "rock and roll" with a conversation at work. However, the sentence was taken up as a useful phrase.
According to the explanation of the textbook, it expresses the situation that everything is prepared and just waiting to get started, like a band has already prepared for everything and is waiting to be on stage. It's a colloquial expression that is often used in the US.
I see, but... Do you often use it at work? What is the difference from "We are ready to go"?

Hello, my name is Steve.
The textbook is right about the phrase but I usually say "we're ready to go"
It's just more common but every person is different and say's what they want.
Steve,
Thank you for visiting my blog and posting the comment!
I see, you say "we're ready to go."
Thank you!
