It basically means customizing your desktop to look pretty in some way.
I only thought Civics could get riced. TIL!
Yeah the term comes from the same one used for customizing cars. As to why it's been used for desktop customization, I have no idea, but that's where it's from.
whats civics?
Civic in this context refers to the compact car model produced by Honda since 1972. It is popular for being cheap and frequently modified (AKA "riced"). Civics in its alternative context is the study of the rights and obligations of citizens in society. The term relates to behavior affecting other citizens, particularly in the context of urban development.
Huh TIL. Thanks!
