No te enrolles - for me it is also - don't go on and on, don't get into a big story and keep going on .... so I guess that's the 'messy' part.

I forgot I had heard that expression in that context too and I think that's what Jeezle was asking for. Thanks! - gone, Jan 30, 2011

Not often used in plural though.

Rollos for me can be chismes (gossip) or enredos (confusing situations). But I have heard the expression "No te enrolles" to mean:
Don't get all bent out of shape
Don't read too much into it
Don't get so wrapped up in something
