Provos

members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Pro-Irish Republic paramilitaries

The opposing Loyalist paramilitaries are the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF)

Conflicts this long-running are never simple, so there are many splinter groups including the *Real* IRA, a.k.a. Oglaigh na hEireann. To make matters more confusing, Oglaigh na hEireann is also the name of the Irish Republic's legitimate army. Fortunately, most people have no clue how to pronounce Oglaigh na hEireann, so the confusion is self-limiting.

Will the Provos hold the ceasefire or retaliate? Stay tuned ...

Providence

Capital of and largest city in Rhode Island. A city initially founded by exile Roger Williams in the 1630s, it has since evolved to the diverse and dynamic city it is today. As an education center, it is home to Ivy League Brown University, artist mecca Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College (PC) which is home of the Friars. The East Side is an affluent treasure of many beautiful historic homes. Federal Hill once most known for the Italian mafia and the Patriarca crime family, is now world renown for its Italian cuisine. Providence South Side is now a mecca of diversity and has become a landing spot for cultures from all over the world. It's a small but truly underrated city.

"Hey man want to go to Providence next weekend?"
"Sounds awesome, sure!"
(both fist pump)
"PVD represent!"
"401 BABY!"

provincial

describing people who only care about eating, sleeping, making money, and owning crap. Very unimaginative, uncultured people with no concept of the arts, history, language, faith, travel, or why any those things should be valued. Has not visited a library or museum since the 7th grade. Doesn't know the name of a bluebird (really). Like Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, they "can't see past the end of their nose".

There are a few parties in east providence and virtually almost nothing to do, there are some exceptions though, Central EP holds portugese feasts and a large Heritage Festival during the summer. While in EP you may hear the word "Mad" which is used alot during a normal conversation (EX. that kid is mad custy).
