A community of people that live along a river. Known as tight knit community that always sticks together and looks out for its children. Also, spend a lot of leisure time along the river, fishing, boating, ect. People that live along a river are proud to be called "river rats!"

In poker, a fuck stick that has no pair and no draw that hits a card on fifth street "the river" to give him the best hand and suck out on another player and then brags about it. The amazing river card, making bad poker player look good since 1942. No pair, no draw, no problem!

In poker, the river is the fifth commmunity card to come up and the river rat is a person who called all wagers, with no apparent hand and a minute chance of winning, in order to catch some miracle card and 'river' any legitamate betting/raising hands.
I flopped a set, pounded it the whole way, and that river rat Mario called all the way just to hit a gut-shot.

The go to move of bad poker players. A river rat is a player who, despite holding bad cards and hitting nothing on the flop, continues to bet right up until the fifth and final community card, the river card. More often than not noobs such as this usually get lucky on the river and insist on bragging about it despite the fact that their success was down do dumb luck and not skill. A river rat doesn't know when to fold and due to their ignorance pridefully consider themselves aggressive players rather than crap players, which is what they are. The most agonizingly annoying thing about river rats is that they have a tendency to be arrogant when they suck out, completely oblivious to the fact that they wouldn't last 2 seconds in a real tournament.
Guy 1 - Man check out that douche, he went right to the river with a stinking deuce seven off suit and sucked out running sevens.
Guy 2 - I know aye, and look at that smug smile on his face, acting like he's an expert poker player when really he's just a noob river rat tosser.
