on the rivet

Extreme physical exertion to the point of almost giving up. Derived from bike racing in the olden days when bike seats had rivets, and in an effort not to get dropped one would slide forward on the saddle to exert maximum pressure on the pedals so as to hang on the the amphetamine-loaded Belgian in front of you.

Person 1: So how'd you do?
Person 2: Dude, I was on the rivet for like an hour until I finally blew.

Riveting tale, chap.

The verbose and formal variant of the sarcastic phrase "cool story bro".

Person A: ...And so in conclusion, we are able to see that the event that transpired was nothing more than a cleverly disguised ruse and in no way factual as was originally perceived.

Person B: Riveting tale, chap.

rivethead

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)
