The 'rice' term

[NeonAtron]

I hear the word rice quite often on here but in different ways. Some make it good, some make it bad. I think a nice solid definition would clear things up. I tried m-w.com and all i got was: the starchy seeds of an annual cereal grass.

[grncivicdhr]

rice- 1) Adj. a car (whether import or domestic) modified in extreme bad taste. ei: ugly vinyl, yellow accents and decals, poorly painted interiors, exhaust tips, very large wings, etc... 2) adj. "to be ricey" the description of a car modified in bad taste or poor driving due to lack of ability and intelligence.

also;
ricer- noun, a person who modifies a car in bad taste, or drives in an idiotic way.

Rice - just part of the San Fransisco Treat.

Here's a few definitions from the Urban Dictionary.

1. ricer

(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

2. Ricer

Any oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain.

Ricer: An oriental car with no engine mods, a body kit, and possibly stickers. Made to look fast.
Not a ricer: An oriental car with a fully built engine, drive train, and suspension reguardless of appearance

3. ricer

ricer:adjective, someone with extremely bad taste in cars.

Examples:

A person who modifies a car for no performace gain
A person who uses a car too make up for a small or lack of penis
A person who acts like they kno about cars but doesnt kno shit
A person who believes their slow import and in some cases domestic will get them laid
A person who has a whizzzzz tone to their exhast
A person who says that they have 'headers' on 4 inline cylinder car.
A person who loses horsepower by making a inline 4 cylinder car have dual exhast
A person whos exhast tip I could shove my leg into
A person who pimps out a economy car
Anyone who watched fast and the furious and thought it was the greatest piece of cinematics since casablanca
Someone who puts a ugly wing on a FWD (front wheel drive) car
Someone whos puts a body kit on a car
someone who has more lights and stickers then horsepower
Someone who just has and attitude and common sense of a jackass when it comes to cars.

Me: how fast is that piece of shit civic?
Ricer: yo dawg this whip be tight yo.
Me: so how much horsepower that crappy 4 cyl have?
Ricer: yo who needs horsepower when I have a body kit that looks like dogshit yo?
Me: how small is your penis?
Ricer:Yo dawg I cut it off so I get better power to weight ratio.
Me: that got vtec?
Ricer: yea man my stickers right there yo!
Me: do u even know what vtec is?
Ricer: it makes my mad fast yo.
Me: kill yourself.
Ricer: I would but my boyfriend would be upset.
Me: I see..... makes sense fucking ricer.
*Ricer drives away an incredibly slow speed to go pour his inchorence and lack of knowledge on to others*

Hope that helps.

Not to mention its long lost relative, Domestic Rice.

[aloharocky]

Ricer= A lowered Toyota Echo with a big exhaust, tinted windows, blasting bass stereo, DVD screens in their headrests. and spinner hupcaps. I wonder if these guys know that we are laughing AT them, not with them.

Pesonally, i wouldn't consider that 'rice' only because it's obviously a show car, and probably never gets driven on the street. In the show car world, you have to do stuff that makes your car stand out, even if it's something ridiculous like having Mercedes headlights or other stuff that would seem stupid in the 'real' world.
That being said, if the fool who owns that Civic ever takes it out on the streets and starts flossin' or trying to race people, then he's crossed the line and immediately gotten deep into Rice country.
But rice or not, that car is f'ugly.

Here is a better example of a typical ricer, and one you're more likely to see around town:



If after that you still need further clarification, just head on over here.
