Get the Ripeth mug.Wee mental davey went to the arcades and spent his disability on the tuppeny nudger and lost it all. The chubby, blonde, female worker commented 'Ripeth done' at the end of wee mental daveys tether. Wee mental davey isn't having this and throws a handful of five pence pieces at blonde chubster. Obviously, chubster goes pure Ford Estate squawking words only Seagulls understand whilst davey's going absolutely acka, uncontrollable at this point, I feel like I'm going to have to walk away and deal with this. David no, you're too strong no daaaavid nooooo

Get the ripeth done mug.Related Words
Someone who enjoys the darker industrial side of techno, or more accurately, the more aggressive stompy side of industrial music. The rivethead is ridiculed equally by the old school industrial fans as well as the newer cyber crowd, but is usually too busy stomping to Caustic, Feindflug or Die Krupps to give a damn. Rivetheads are commonly thought of as being supremely elitist but behind those outsized military goggles there often lies a knowing sense of humour--hell, you'd need one if you dressed for war just to go clubbing.
"You call yourself a rivethead? I invented that shit. You wanna stomp to Death Method, you owe me royalties." --Chase of Reconstriction records (he may or may not have actually said this)
