River Rouge

a small city with a few churches, Gas stations and bars. Nothing else. It is approximately 1 square mile and some how has 10,000 residents. Its public school system is corrupt and screws the intelligent kids. and When ever someone says thats where they grew up, They die a little inside. Its is just a suburb of Detroit.

Hey, I'm from River Rouge. Theres nothing to fucking do, I cant get a job anywhere, almost every other house on my block is a slum, and the school put me in special ed over my calculus class. This fucking sucks, I'm going to Sandusky Ohio.

River Gorilla

A drunk, unattractive, usually rather large female found floating down a river relentlessly searching for a mate, free beer, free food, and/or free cigarettes.

First discovered on the Comal River in New Braunfels, TX; River Gorillas have been sighted on rivers all across the US.

Close relative of the Swamp Donkey.

Greg tied a Keystone smothered in pork grease to his fishing pole in hopes of catching himself a River Gorilla.

River Bottom Dweller

A person who primarily hangs out at dirty rivers bottoms, they might appear to be homeless, but they live with their parents or their sex offender uncle. They drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, or Olde English. The highest education level reached was 9th grade. All their tattoos are homemade. A river bottom dweller's only mode of transportation is a bicycle. They only date girls who are between the ages of 13-16. Watch out for them, they will be the ones doing the hulk hogan pose.

That guy is such a river bottom dweller.
