rollideks

Rollideks is a term that may refer to several distinct ideas, depending on usage and language. It does not denote a single, universally recognized object or concept.

In English-language writing, the closest established reference is as a variant or misspelling of Rolodex, the mechanical rotating card file used to store contact information. Rolodex is a trademark that became a generic term for personal contact organizers; the conventional plural is Rolodexes, and rollideks is typically viewed as nonstandard or erroneous.

Outside conventional usage, Rollideks has appeared as a proper name in fiction and branding. In science fiction or speculative contexts, Rollideks may designate a fictional data-storage or contact-management device, or a branding term for a product line. Because there is no single official definition, its meaning is determined by the particular work or brand employing the term.

Related terms include Rolodex, contact management, and data storage.
