I like the post, but I was surprised with this use as well, I thought it was an anachronism at this point in any context. I remember it being used to refer to "rice rockets" or modded cars in the late 90s, early 2000s, but it fell out of use in any circles I'm in by then, but it must have survived in some community. It'll probably be hard to get an honest answer without doing your own research since it's been (I think reasonably) labeled as derogatory here, as those using it may not be aware/think of it as such.
- sedivy94 4y agoI hear the term “ricer” fairly often when someone refers to a two-door honda with a comical spoiler and fat fenders, for example. Definitely has overlap with the rally car body aesthetic. It’s simultaneously a derogatory term and a badge of honor worn by the ricer subculture. I did not know the etymology or literal meaning of the term, though. I appended my vocabulary list after reading this.
