Rice - a cheaply modified car, usually an import, that sounds five times faster than it actually goes. Usually has an enormous spoiler that makes the car look like a shopping cart, and an exhaust "tip" about 6 inches round also known as a "fart can" or "fart cannon". The term can also be used as an acronym for "Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements".Jared called an LS1 with LS1 stickers and neons 'rice', then the Bone Daddy's Girl called Jared 'rice'. And the rice food chain continued.
Ricer - 1. A car that has been tastelessly modified, synonymous with above Rice.
2. The owner of said car.
Rice Boy - The driver/owner/mating partner of a riced out car. Will dump his girlfriend because she takes away from his time with the car. Is usually under 17 years of age, but the occasional Mid-Life-Crisis Rice Boy has been known to play on urban highways as well.
Who's that peeling down the street at 3:30 in the morning? Oh, must be Rice Boy and his POS '92 Civic.
Riced Out - Adjective phrase describing a car that has been tastelessly modified, i.e. made into a Ricer.
Boy Racer - Colloquial term for "Ricer" used in Great Britain.
Chick ricer - An otherwise attractive girl who drives, or is seen driving, a riced-out automobile; such action automatically cuts her rating on the "1-10 scale" in half.
Fart Can (Fart Cannon, Salad Shooter) - a long, round, cylindrical device attached to the tailpipe of a car that makes the car look like it has an expensive exhaust system, but in fact only serves to amplify the noise. The resulting sound strongly resembles human flatulence, hence the name Fart Can.Since Robert put that Fart Can on his Honda, no one wants to sit near him in class.
Domestic Rice - a car manufactured in the United States that has been riced out. Usual victims of "domestic rice" modifications are the Chevrolet Cavalier and the Ford Escort.
Jason turned his Sunfire into Domestic Rice by giving it fake hood scoops and a 2-foot-tall spoiler.
Rice-A-Roni - see Domestic Rice. Probably not a coincidence that it's called "The San Francisco Treat".
Rice-Mart - Related to Rice Paddie; a store that caters to the desires of a ricer. Rice-marts almost always sell some or all of the following: oversized tachometers, bright vinyl graphics, stickers, fart cans, faux carbon-fiber, spinning hubcaps, and oversized cone-shaped air filters. A few common Ricemarts are AutoZone, Pep Boys, and Walmart. The unfortunate dilemma of Rice-Marts is that many of them once catered exclusively to dedicated private mechanics and true gearheads.
Rice Paddie - a shop that rices out more cars than it actually modifies well.
Wings 'N' Thangs Customzzz is the biggest rice paddie around. All that's missing are the bamboo cone hats.
Rice & Beans - any vehicle displaying the owner's last name in huge silver cryptic letters on the back. May contain fringe around the headliner, Chevy logo-shaped holes over the quarter panel, and decals of both a Crucifix AND a naked girl silhouette randomly placed anywhere on said vehicle.
Mr. Intow spend $25 on the red, white and green paint job for his Rice & Beans.
Ricense Plate - the placement of a large hole in one’s tailgate or liftgate, usually at a 20- to 30- degree angle to the bumper, for insertion of one’s rear license plate. Such hole is usually overlit with neon or LED's, or may feature an obnoxiously lit frame around the plate itself. Incidentally, this feature is seen almost exclusively on above Rice & Beans.
Ricer Fly-By - Any time a ricer floors it and goes around you (or attempts to go around you). Said fly-by may occur:
1) after losing to you
2) in an attempt to get you to race him
3) to simply annoy someone who actually knows how to drive a car
Ricer Flash - Three or four flashes of the hazard lights during a ricer fly-by.
Ricer Kazoo - A tiny whistle sold on eBay that a ricer can plug into his exhaust pipe to emulate the sound of a turbine spooling.
Ricer Speaker - A tiny speaker installed under the hood to emulate the sound of a blow-off valve.
Ricer Call - An actual blow-off valve. The sound usually attracts ricers that believe their cars are better.
Rice Light - A large and obnoxiously bright shift light, usually attached to a very large tachometer, that is installed in a vehicle with an automatic gearbox.
Ricer Eyes - Tiny colored LEDs that are attached to the windshield washer nozzles.
Ricer Mentality - proof that being a ricer is 50 percent what one does to his or her car and 50 percent how one acts in it. While one usually doesn't see one without the other, Ricer Mentality can be displayed by someone driving a bone-stock or even a mildly modified vehicle that isn't necessarily rice in itself. This phenomenon extends beyond the realm of the automobile and can be displayed by anyone who attempts to show off what he or she has to anyone within eyeshot or earshot - when in reality, said object of affection is of lesser quality than that of his "audience".
Jake showed major Ricer Mentality when he cranked his blown 8 inch Jensens and floored his muffler-less Camaro across the lot.
Ricer Wire - Colored or painted spark plug wires.
Diarrhea - Lovely brown smear caused by soot from exhaust out of a fart can (or, in this case, 'shart can') that ends either at or just behind the bumper. Best noticeable on white cars.
Ghetto Spinners - Plastic wheel covers with fake plastic spinners attached.
Hopper - A riced-out vehicle that has a problem with wheel hop on a launch.
Human Rice - A person whose wardrobe, mannerisms, extensive talk about things he knows nothing about, and general sense of cockiness indicate that he may be, or have potential to be, the owner of a riced-out automobile. See also Douchebag.
Indecent Exposure - Any undercar lighting in which the tube itself can be seen from a standing or driving point of view when lit, a la the black Hondas in The Fast and the Furious.
You wouldn't let your girlfriend go out indecently exposed, so don't let the neons show on your car. Cover that s*** up!
Lice - short for "Luxury Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements". Examples include fake vents, commonly three "vent" stickers in front of the front doors, to mock a luxury car; unnecessary track lighting on an SUV to mock a Lincoln Navigator or other luxury SUV; and putting the front end of a luxury car or truck on a regular pickup (a Lincoln Mark LT front end on a Ford F150).
Rattle Canned - Shoddy or horrible paint job on a fiberglass body kit or any other part of the car. So named because it is almost always done with a can of spray paint.
Mike Rattle Canned his bumper six different shades of blue and got overspray on his white rims.
Speed Holes - Random holes cut in fiberglass body kits, usually explained away as a "brake cooling method" or "extra air intake."
Two-winger, three-winger etc. - Corresponds to the number of fugly spoilers on a ricer. Sometimes said spoilers are stacked on top of each other.
Uniwiper - Feature of a car that has had the driver's side windshield wiper removed and the passenger wiper repositioned to cover some of the resulting missing range; done to make the car look "exotic".
