A term that is applied to Italian Americans of the outdoor sporty type,who mainly have a penchant of combining low intellect with muscle cars, and, especially high performance motorcycles. Origins in the 1980's,from the Johnston,Cranston,Providence Rhode Island areas,where there is a given ethnic population density of such-also known as the "Greater Tri-Gueed". Typical is thewearing of gold jewelry,designer sunglasses wedged on forehead but not used,gym pants and flip flop sandals,tank top or no shirt,and on a motorcycle,no helmet or any other protective
gear.Very excessive,aggressive driving or riding,which is normally accompanied by high fatality statistics.Johnston Scholars usually remove the speedometer from a sportbike,as they "only need a tach".Muffler removal and/or poor substitution is mandatory peer behavior.Most times they are seen to cruise or ride in packs of loud bikes,with antics like wheelies and burnouts.Socially, pretty obnoxious due to low intelligence.
