RP-tism

The term used by Polytechnic students in Singapore to define the loud, obnoxious, shameless, and boldness actions and mannerisms of Republic Polytechnic (RP) students.

Whilst usually used in a negative way, it can sometimes also be used to refer to the pro-activeness and braveness that most Republic Polytechnic (RP) students have as compared to other Polytechnic students.

Whilst the reason behind this trait being common amongst most if not all Republic Polytechnic (RP) students remains unconfirmed, many think that this trait derives from Republic Polytechnic's (RP) unique curriculum as compared to other Polytechnics in Singapore, where it is not out of the ordinary to have 1 or 2 presentations every single lesson, and additionally, because such a big part of the grading component is proactiveness when it comes to self-directed learning and collaborative work.
Student 1: "Dude, did that guy just yell at his friend to not vape at the top of his lungs in a public space?"
Student 2: "Wow. Imagine the balls it takes to do something that stupid. Isn't he from RP?"
Student 1: "Oh, that explains so much. It's the RP-tism, everybody has it."

or

Lecturer 1: "Wow! I feel like out of all the Polys at this forum, only the RP students were courageous enough to step up and help!"
Lecturer 2: "Don't you know? Their curriculum supports the growth of their brave and driven character! They themselves call it the RP-tism!"
