Get the river crabbingmug. River aka rivka. River is someone you meet through mutual friends that you both kinda hate, but he hates everyone so it’s okay. He’s a nice guy with long hair, but you always wonder if he actually washes it. He likes to stalk your Spotify but will not turn his on like a little tiny bitch. With river, you never know what he’s thinking, and you’re almost positive he has a secret life. He will be a decent Vice President, but nothing crazy. And his shoes are never tied ever.
Wow so that’s river of you!
