He used to live roundabouts.

In Iron Man 3 (the movie):
Tony Stark: What's the official story here? What happened?
Harley Keener: I guess this guy named Chad Davis, used to live roundabouts, won a bunch of medals in the army. One day, folks said he went crazy and made, you know, a bomb. Then he blew himself up right here.

So "roundabouts" here is used as an adverb.
But why can't I find this term in any dictionary I know of?
Is this some sort of slang?
