Noun: A pair of sunglasses worn at rave parties.
The origins of the timeless practice of sporting sunnies in a dark nightclub or pitch-black field is shrouded in mystery, however recieved explanations include; (a) their usefulness in concealing dinner-plate pupils and/or redness, rolling or foaming of the eyes, and (b) the trip-friendly apricot hue they bestow upon viewed objects.
Nowadays, raviators are often worn as an assertion that the wearer is pumped full of party drugs, in an ironic reversal of their original role as a facade of sobriety. A T-shirt emblazoned with the sentence "I'M OFF MY FACE MATE!" would be only marginally more blatant.
Any pair of sunglasses serves as raviators, but the most coveted tend to be particularly outmodish or improbable e.g; those tragic cycling wraparounds from the 1980s embellished with bad neon / old school fat plastic reading-glasses missing lenses / red and green cardboard 3D spex / milk bottle bases held in wicker frames / normal sunglasses with eyes painted on the front / ones that light up or make a noise / seriously rubbish ones belonging to an aged relative / normal sunglasses worn upside-down or many pairs worn jointly. Originality is regarded as a relatively key aspect, although the tolerant philosophy behind raving renders its ultimate importance somewhat negligible.
Some swear by one trusty pair of raviators they've had since the acid house era whilst others buy a new pair in the pound shop prior to every party, savvy to the bad habit raviators have of attaching themselves to complete strangers' faces.

Raver A: Have you seen my raviators anywhere?
Raver B: Yeah, they're on some random in the gabba room

Get the Raviators mug.The hardest boss you will ever face and is the most biggest pain in a 2D game
The requirements are insanely difficult and if you aren’t prepared then have fun going through every boss in the game again but before you can do that you have to do all the pantheons. If your a uncultured swine and don’t know what a pantheon in Hollow Knight is then why are you even reading this, it’s basically a boss rush and that all I’m saying about it. Except that the one you do before the final pantheon is very difficult because a insanely buffed version of the “final boss” of the game is the last boss you fight before unlocking the final pantheon. When you get to the last pantheon you go through every single boss and even the buffed versions of them, right before you fight the Absolute Radiance you fight a boss that is either harder or and hard as her and that boss is Nightmare King Grimm. If you somehow manage to beat him you finally fight Absolute Radiance.

Gamer: “YES FINALLY AFTER A WHOLE MONTH OF TRYING I DID IT, BRING IT ON RADIANCE”
*Absolute Radiance continues to make Gamer to fall in the void, get hit by 2 light pillars, and dies to light sword*
Gamer: “...”

Get the Raianna mug.A dance introduced by the youtube star, Ryan Higa (nigahiga,) specifically for untalented people. He wanted it to create a movement to "make a difference." This is ironic because most of the video replies showing people atttempting the move, looks like failed attempts to squash a bug.
This dance goes well with the song Duck Sauce by Barbra Streisand.

Oh my gosh, man, top raving is going to be the next big thing.
Aww man, I am so uncoornidated that I can't even top rave like nigahiga.

Get the top raving mug.To celebrate a football goal in the style of Middlesbrough & Derby County's former relegation-bagging silver-haired Italian warrior Fabrizio Ravanelli, by lifting up the front of your shirt and putting it over your head, and proceeding to run around with your arms out. Can also be used outside of a footballing context.
"Why did Maximillian leave so early?"
"He was thrown out by the bouncer for doing a Ravanelli. It was rank."
"He is a fat bastard."
"A very fat bastard."

Get the Ravanelli mug.A surreally seductive and beautiful location where many potentially breathtaking selfies have sadly never been sent to anyone due to the fact that the heroic selfie seekers had slid unexpectedly and precipitously to their deaths, tumbling to the savage bottom of this steep and slippery ravine.
It was a truly horrific tragedy, after the Labor Day weekend, we found at least fifteen Summer clothing-clad bodies still clutching their shattered cellphones at the bottom of Selfie Ravine.
