Known for Quahogs, the best seafood, clams bakes, and sailing around the Narragansett bay. Also known for tall ships and wicked awesome beaches (and some which you can find sea glass on)! We like tourists except for Massholes over the years of Mass being jealous of our beautiful landscape and independent nature. If one knows better they will not F*** with a Rhode Islander with our lengthy history of Privateering and doing what ever the F*** we want to do.

Also known for using the F word religously/frequently.

Where the forest meets the ocean-that is Rhode Island...

Excellent Italian dishes as well as seafood where ever you go. I do recommend staying farther south when visiting Rhode Island because the farther North you go, the closer you get to Massholes that screw everything up, and have those ugly license plates. Unless you are on your way to Maine, and in that case you must pass through the Masshole state.

We've got blinkers, and bubblas, and sometimes don't pronounce our R's.

Name Rhode Island came from it either resembling the Isle of Rhodes in the Mediterranean sea, or due to fact that Newport is like a road, long and skinny.
Rhode Islander: I hope you did not pock ya cah fah, because we have a lot of groceries to carry.

*Rhode Island is a small state on the East Coast. In fact, it's so small it's the smallest state.
*Has a population of roughly 1 million people.
*Cranston is the home of Del's Lemonade
*RI has the shortest memo and the longest name
-Memo: Hope.
-Official State Name: State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
*Most people think it's an island. It's not.

People that live in RI generally can't pronounce their R's. Who knows why, but they can't. They also seem to hate tourists. Gold jewellery, Del's, gum, and knowing everyone you see at the local drug store. Those are some things that indicate you are a true Rhode Islander.

Betty: Hey Chahlette let's go to the show tomahruh with Judy and Vinnie.

A beautiful state to take a stroll. I highly recommend south providence for its cultural diversity and ghettos. If you have time walk down federal hill yelling "Wop" and then run for cover in Olneyville.
Massholes and yuppie Connecticut folk stay out.
