Riker's Beard

Euphemism for a moment in time (typically in pop culture) where something or someone that was lackluster and/or underachieving suddenly and surprisingly became much better and exciting. Taken from Star Trek - The Next Generation, which many fans considered wanting until Commander Riker grew a beard at the start of Season Two, after which the show was solid and well-received for the rest of its run.
"Heather Locklear joining the cast of Melrose Place was that show's Riker's Beard moment."

"Ben Cherrington (Boston Red Sox GM) trading expensive malcontents like Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett to the LA Dodgers was a Riker's Beard for his career (and the Red Sox) if ever I saw one."

"Little did the New England Patriots know it at the time, but when Mo Lewis knocked Drew Bledsoe out in Week 2 of 2001, it would become a Riker's Beard for the franchise."

"The fact that Danny Ainge (Boston Celtics GM) turned getting boned in the 2008 NBA Draft Lottery into a Riker's Beard is still staggering to me."

Rivers Cuomo

The frontman of Weezer. Born on June 13, 1970. He is devoted to Vipassana Meditation and is said to meditate twice a day. Many people have stated the many positive changes that have occurred in Rivers ever since he started this method. Due to meditation, Rivers declared that he would remain celibate for 2 years. He stayed true to his word and even went over the 2 years deadline. Rivers stated that he wanted to break his celibacy on his wedding night...June 18th, 2006 (which was yesterday). He is also a Harvard graduate. He received his Bachelor of Arts in English and American Literature after attending school on and off for 11 years on June 8th 2006. He does often give off that snobby/sarcastic vibe but he has sold over 7 million albums, is filthy rich, and is a Harvard graduate. Anyone with a list of accomplishments like that would have a bit of an ego don't u think? I think the main reason why he's so appealing to me is because he doesn't fit the image of a stereotypical rocker.
He's pretty shy/quiet, has a small stature and is known for his Buddy Holly glasses (although I haven't seen him wearing them lately).
He also finds Asian women attractive. His wife is Japanese.
I think he went through a pretty tough time during the Pinkerton era but I can tell he changed a lot from then. He seems more mature/wise/a lot happier now. There's this look of peace on his face whenever I see him.
I think Rivers is very charismatic (although he doesn't think so).

Riker Maneuver

The act of eye-catchingly sitting on a chair with low backrest by moving your leg over it before sitting down. One should always look the person they want to impress directly in their eyes. Famously performed and originated by cdr. William T. Riker on Star Trek : The next Generation.
If you want to nail that girl, you should do the Riker Maneuver while you sit down.
Riker Maneuver by MalonMusk May 1, 2020
Any teenager or young adult who takes a japaneese import car, ususally a Honda, and adds relitivly cheap aftermarket parts that have no effect on engine performance. Such parts are aftermarket exhaust, intakes, wings, lights, and stickers. Most commonly added are NOS and VTEC Sitckers. When the hood is lifted however the engine isn't a VTEC and there is no Nitrous Oxide system Installed.

When challenged to a race ricers will almost always and laugh and drive away with there exhaust making you deaf for a tempary amount of time. On occasion a ricer will make the mistake of pulling up with the Rap blaring and ask a guy in a small low powered car to "rice" becasue they can't say race. The person will almost always decline the "rice" but if they accecpt they will win because the ricer drives his car in first gear only becasue it is louder than the higher gears.
I could beat any ricer in my rusty old corsica. Execpt I wouldn't wake up the neighboorhood with my exhaust.
