What does "A little rocky on the dismount" mean?
I don't understand,"A little rocky on the dismount" meaning.
Is it kind of metaphor?
Thank you

Question

Answer

"Rocky" usually means "lots of rocks" but there is another meaning which is "unstable" or "shaky".

So a rocky dismount (from a horse, or a gymnastics bar?) would be one that is unstable or not well executed or at a minimum does not look very elegant.

I hope that is helpful.

Answer

People do use it as a metaphor to say that something might have been going well, but there were problems at the end. For the literal meaning, Tom explained it well.
