An accent found in the Northeast part of the country. Often put in the category of the Boston accent. IT'S NOT!!!
Depending on where your from in Rhode Island, the accent differs. If your from Johnston, Cranston, north providence, Scituate you will have an almost New York accent due to the high amount of Italians and strong mafia ties.
EX: tree=three, true=through, yous=you all, stahp=stop, yeeaaa=yes, uge=huge
If your from any other part, you will either have a Boston like accent or a neutral accent. Rhode Islanders are known for having the highest percentage of Italians in the country.
They are also known for having one of the most powerful former mafia bosses in history, Raymond L.S. Patriarca.

Originates from the Jamaican language, it is a mixture of words: "rawda" meaning rather and "don" usually meaning a male mafia boss. A person described as a Rhoden is a person who embodies the pinnacle of all the important social aspects, if a Rhoden is not at a social gathering it's not worth going to. The people usually put under this "Rhoden" category are usually Jamaican but can also be from African-American origins aswell. A Rhoden also uses the Border* at the correct moment. *see what border means in urbandicionary for definition.
(two people are having a fight and one of them is a rhoden)
the Rhoden: SLAP
the other guy: *cowering*
Rhoden: KICK
other guy: please stop!! i beg of you!!
a bystander: IT'S A PAR

A guy who is very handsome and has a great sense of humor. Can be shy at first but after time he can be the life of the party. He is a great friend and also loyal, but once you turn your back on him, he will not be there for you. He can be nerd but also a jock. He tries his hardest to make everyone feel comfortable and be in a better mood. He has a hard time letting his feelings out for the one he loves. He takes a long time to let someone know that he likes them until its too late. But he can be very romantic to the one he chooses.
