I don't get it -- is this a wrestling metaphor? When you squeeze somebody do they roll over?

@joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social Seems like they're writing for "Art of the Deal" readers... In finance, "to squeeze" (as in "short squeeze") means to apply pressure to force capitulation, and "to roll over" (as in "roll over and play dead") is to capitulate.
