New Providence

A small town in north jersey right outside of New York City. It is home to the nicest people on the east coast. Beautiful houses, nice cars, and great schools are what you'll find here. All moms walk their kids to school in the morning and pick them up in their SUV's in the afternoon only to rush them off to soccer practice, ballet class or flute lessons. Most of the kids are ridiculously smart and talented in pretty much everything so they go to great schools and grow up to make tons of money in New York City just like their parents. The dads all walk home together from the train station after work to find their perfect families waiting and dinner, made by their house-keeper, on the table. On the weekends, the kids don't really throw killer parties because they know their parents will find out because everyone is in each other's business. Football games are attended every weekend and church at the Presbyterian Church at New Providence is a must on Sunday morning. Pretty much an adorable town filled with rich, but nice people who have perfect lives. Kind of like a mini version of Desperate Housewives without the bitchiness.

"Hey are you moving?"

"Yeah, I'm going to New providence so my kids can be smart and be nice people."

good providence

A term used to say "good luck and good life." Used at the end of a conversation as a way to say goodbye. Usually the term is reserved for someone who is doing particularly noble but dangerous work.

B: "Wow, you've opened a new clinic. Ok, Good Providence."
A: "Thank you!"

providence

Capital of Rhode Island, cool place to be, alot of people have fucked up definitions of providence. Each end has rich parts and poor parts, yes even the south side. You can be with yuppies, hippies, college kids, old people and gays on college hill-part of east side and go 4 blocks over to pleasant st. where u can still here gunshots every now and then. Most people who think they're going to get shot or robbed by driving in providence are from surrounding towns or out of state and are usually scared of what they dont understand. rhode island is full of white kids who are open minded for the most part, but are scared of the city because they have households that have alot of prejudice. Like white kids who have black friends in school, but dont hang with them on the weekends, and listen to hip-hop music and/or dress in that style. But wont have them over their house. The parents are like that too especially the farther into the sticks you go. They don't mind they're son having a black friend, but their daughter better not come home with a black boyfriend. Dumb shit like that. Theres not alot of evil hatred and racism, but there is a good amount of prejudice, mainly due to the people's own ignorance. But they'll never say it to your face. But providence is like any other city, you have good parts and bad parts, but unlike real bad ghettos in other states, PROVIDENCE IS STILL QUIET AT NIGHT! theres only 20 murders a year, in the whole state!! I was born and raised in providence, im 23 years old, and still live in providence. I hang with kids from cranston, warwick, west warwick, pawtucket, central falls, cumberland, smithfield, scituate, newport, warren, north kingstown, south kingstown,johnston, bristol, barrington, woonsocket, east providence, north providence, east side, south side, north side, west end, and fed hill. and most of the shit in these other definitions is crap.

TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!

Providitis

An epidemic that leads organizations to use the most boring verb in the English language – provide.

That nonprofit's website has a serious case of Providitis - all of their goals are to "provide XYZ."

Nonprofits always have the same narrative:"We exist. Give us money so we can PROVIDE things"

Providence Steamroller

Providence Catholic

Providence Catholic somewhere where you can repeatedly be told that we’re all a family for only 12 grand a year. The disciplinary guidelines are so ridiculous that you’ll feel your a citizen in North Korea, unless of course your a wrestler. The faculty will tell students that you have a leg up on everyone else because you go to providence as students will flee from the school freshman year on because of how much easier it is to succeed at any other school. Be prepared to sit through way too many student council assembly’s throughout the year even though the only say they have in anything is what color streamers the Christmas Dance (that no one will go to ) will have that year.

“Oh you go to Providence Catholic?”
