Top definition
Person who applies functional or artistic rope bondage (sometimes referred to as "human macramé") to another person's body for photographic, performance, artistic, educational, spiritual, or sexual purposes.

The term is thought to originate from the nautical world and has strong associations with rope, knots, and suspension. Other forms of restraint may also be used; such as fabric, leather and steel.

Rigger is sometimes thought to be a more technical term than the more artistic "rope top", while remaining less pretentious than the japanese inspired term "nawashi".

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A person that hooks heavy material to cranes using wire slings, hooks, chains, and straps. This peson must be skillful and knowledgeble. If done improperly, loads will fall, buildings will crumble pick up trucks will be impaled with steel beams, and people may DIE!!!! get the picture? Riggers dont appear to be the sharpest tools in the shed. Most dont know textbook algebra, but they can tell you what a 5/8 choker can lift at a 60 degree angle. Riggers give hand signals to cranes that fly the material through the air. Contrary to popular 'urban belief' that riggers take it up the ass, I think if you tried to mount a true rigger, you would find a nice piece of red iron sitting where your front seat used to be....
