Get the sold down the river mug.To taunt or otherwise heckle canoeists, rafters, kayakers, etc as they make their way down a river. Especially fun near river hazards that can cause navigation difficulties. Taunts may be concealed by referring to them as professional canoeists/rafters/kayakers before starting any detailed heckling. For some reason the sarcasm is rarely noticed.
