Rules As Written. Used by players of D&D and other RPGs to indicate a literal interpretation of the rules, often to gain some unintended, overpowering game effect.

Being raw is like being dope. Something is raw when it's overpowered or just dope asf. People can be raw. Bad kids, teacher's with a dank sense of humor. Situations can also be raw. Such as fucking your ex's new bitch. (I mean we're all human aren't we? Gotta control those manly desires.) Regardless If you raw asl, you raw asl. YFM???
