Default OT - slang questions

My DS wants to know if these terms are elsewhere in the country or if it a
New England thing.

So

#1 - rice boy or rice burner referring to any motorcycle built for speed
(aka crotch rockets) not for touring

#2 - riced or riced out - any car that has been extensively modified -
lowered, after market rear spoiler, larger exhaust


He's become some what car crazy (better than girl crazy) of late - wants to
know if I think the new Ford GT or the new (fill in the blank) is a better
car and other such defining questions....

I always thought riceburners applied to japanese manufactured motorcycles;
but then, DH originally came from New England as a kid. I heard Michael
(13) talking of crotch-rockets when I was in Maryland a couple of weeeks
back.

I have heard of these terms especially in regards to small econo cars
that have alot of body panels changed and stickers on them. It is not
meant to be a pleasant slang word.

More like "That rice boy actually thinks that spoiler and those stickers
make his ricer go faster." When a person spends that much money on
exterior mods on a 90's Honda Civic or Dodge Neon you have to wonder
where their head is.

IMNSHO If you are going to mod- do the engine and suspension first not
the spoiler and ground effects.

Buy a '69 muscle car. It'll be more original and more fun. Otherwise, a
Honda Prelude (manual trans) is a good starter.

We've heard rice burner applied to certain models of BMW cycles and to a
Ducati.

I'm particularly interested to terms used to refer to modified cars.

Usually around here it means a bike made in Japan, Korea, etc.
Riced out would mean lots of imported parts - also usually from Japan.

I was under the same impression, well, to both cycles and cars, and
I'm a Midwesterner.

Lived in the Midwest my whole life and have never heard either of those
before.

I did hear a new one a couple of days ago: "road farmer" as in "John's a
road farmer." Anyone heard that one?

(it means a farmer who drives around alot but never actually gets anything
done)
