providence college

A very small, very white, very catholic college in the ghettos of providence. 95% of students are carbon-copies of one another, not that that's a bad thing. they are generally attractive, white, upper middle class, moderately intelligent, with a super-human capacity for alcohol. fake ids are used more than school ids, and every day of the week has its designated drinking locale. oh, and also, there's a pretty decent basketball team.

Where do you go to school?
PC.
BC? Oh, that's a good school.
No, i said PC. Providence College.
Hmm, that's a good time up there, huh? (followed by winking, and nudging with elbow)

Promise Ring

A ring a boy gives a girl, usually in college, to signify he intends on marrying her, but that they’ll wait until they’re older. Usually a very simple ring (for broke college students), with a little heart in some way. Can be very romantic.

Boy: “I love you, I got you this promise ring to show we’re gonna get married as soon as we graduate and I have the money to get you a real one”
Gilr: “Omg, I love you! Thank you!”

on a promise

In British English, "on a promise" simply means that you have arranged to or at least expect to have sex with someone in the near future - usually your regular partner.

Sorry, Dave. No drinks for me tonight. The wife found the handcuffs we used on our weddin' night, so it looks like I'm on a promise, know what I mean?

Provisionalism

Pro·vi·sion·al·ism: listening with an open mind, openness to new possibilities.

Thomas Jefferson believed in provisionalism. He argued that because no generation has a right to bind subsequent generations, the Constitution should expire every 19 years.
