This phenomena occurs when one goes over the edge of something and does so with a flagarant disregard for their safety. Similar to Joe riding the horseoff the cliff in the film The Man From Snowy River.
Person 1:"Whoa did you see Joel Huck off that jump?"
Person 2; "Yeah he totally snowy rivered it!"
In "open" variations of poker such as Hold 'Em or Stud, to have one's strong hand beaten by an opponent whose stronger hand is only completed with the last face-up card, called "the river" or "Fifth Street;" or, to beat an opponent's strong hand with the last face-up card.
I had a runner runner straight flush draw against The Kid's full house but I rivered him. Sometimes you do the wrong thing for the right reason.
The loss of a winning poker hand on the very last card dealt; it is frequentlyfollowed by shock, tears, and a severe need to blow things/people up. (Halo, anyone?)
3:36pm All in preflop...equal hands...I hit a better hand on flop and turn and get rivered by my arch nemesis. Anybody with the name of Sandy that you happen to know, go ahead and punch him/her in the face for me. thx...
renaissance woman. A lady that can do it all, in and out of the home.
Prior to the world wars, men were the ones in the workforce while women stayed at home. When the men went off to war, there was a political campaign urging women to enter the workforce. The character portraying the "can do it all" spirit is Rosie the Riveter. She's able to balance both the home and work life.
An image that may have been seen is a woman holding an iron as well as a wrench.
She's such a Rosie the Riveter, look at her taking hold of both her home and work.
