RIFF

Acronym for "Rowing Is For Fags". Used in short form to confuse and mislead people who see this written on any rowing paraphernalia, often to make them believe it stands for "Rowing Is For Fun".

Note: Rowers came up with this acronym

Riff

In music a riff is a repeated instrumental melody in a song like that catchy guitar lick from Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." It also means to improvise in your performance, esp. by expanding on something recognizable. So another artist might start with Sabbath's "Iron Man" melody at a live show and then take it in completely different direction.

"Man that's a sick guitar riff in that Metallica song Enter Sandman"

"I saw this great improv jazz band that could really riff."

The term is also often used to describe inspiration and improvisation in other things like acting, comedy, dancing, drawing, djing/scratching etc.

a b-boy might say, "So, I was breakin with Jamil the other day and was feelin what he was doin so I started riffin off his style and adding some new flava to it. I vibed off his uprock but threw in some popping and dropped down to a wind mill...It was dope."

an mc might say, "Yo me and my boy were in a cipher last night and we just started to riff off each other, we were just lettin it flow back and forth, ya know what I'm sayin."

Incredibly cool; a combination of "rad " (see: "rad") and kiff (ditto "kiff).
