When you avoid harmful substances, provocative activity, and inappropriate dress. This is exceedingly rare among teenagers, so when you find someone "keepin' it classy" congratulate them, because they can have fun without snooping to a trashy level. These people are "too school for cool" and just all around awesome people who have the most fun at parties, cause they're not worried about legal issues.

A rebel gangster way of living similar to that of Canadian Louis Riel. An expression of living only for instant fun. Drinking alcohol and having sex are the main hobbies. Receiving welfare while being a criminal gangstar is "Riel". Time in the slammer or being executed for rebelling is very "Riel"
Cam: Listen man, you gotta bail me out of the can again... I was Keepin' It Riel last night and got busted
