North Providence High School 

North Providence High is a public school located in North Providence, RI. It is one of the most overrated schools in the world. There are about 1-3 fights per week or month and people act tough and try to start shit for no reason. Some of the students claim they are from Brooklyn just so they can seem tough, but everyone there knows they really arent. It’s a poor school and has no school spirit, no homecoming dances, and let's not forget how bad all the sports teams are other than wrestling. Kids in between classes go to the bathroom (usually the 2nd floor one) and pass a juul around. Freshman girls date seniors just because they can drive and people only associate with you for looks, clout, style and money. There’s usually leaks in the ceilings and teachers have fans in their classrooms cuz apparently the school has enough money to buy flatscreens for every room in the school but can’t fix the heating system or buy air conditioning for the classrooms. No one cares about school there, everyone wants to either drop out or transfer because of how bad the school is, and kids always skip in the bathrooms or walk out the side doors going from the 1st to 2nd floor. There is so many things wrong with this school and is probably one of the worst schools in the state of RI.
Dude 1: You see that white kid over there with his pants sagging. He just got in a fight with someone the other day cuz someone was talking about his girl and he stole his juul.

Dude 2: Wow really!? He must go to North Providence High School.

south providence 

A city in Rhode Island with a population consisting mainly of Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, it can tend to get a little stabby. Once a booming mill city along the river, It's population's main income is welfare and drugs, although there is a thriving Barber Shop/Auto Accessory market. Exorbitant sums of government grant money has recently been used to build an enormous new High School, it has been historically unaccredited, and has 2,000 freshmen, 1,500 sophomores, 12 juniors and a graduating class of 2.

Care should be taken by the outsider when driving through the south side, as everyone from the smallest barely clothed children all the way up to the belligerent drunken day laborer, and everyone in between enjoys jumping into traffic without looking, double and triple parking(they think it's legal if the hazard lights are on), and opening doors into your moving vehicle.

All in all the city government is corrupt, it's school system broken, and it's residents too. Rent is cheap, Restaurants ESL, police incompetent, drugs available, and stabbings plentiful.

On Broad st. in Providence, you can get a haircut at 23 different barber shops, a car stereo at 28 separate locations, Crack, weed, heroin, Dunkin' Donuts, a handgun, 19 Merengue Night Clubs, 29 "Chimmy" trucks, prostitutes, stabbed and arrested. All on a half mile stretch of poorly maintained road.
south providence is not the place to go as a tourist.

Woo-ham Province 

Internet mind-viruses that won't believe that the COVID crisis is just what it is - a rampant dangerous virus of natural origins. Instead we are to believe it comes from secret military labs (in China of course) or was activated by 5G mobile phone signals, in a bid to get us all in lock-down, in a fascistic mind-controlled police state or to implement Agenda-21. Just nuts.
It is located somewhere in the backwoods of the US Deep South or Bible-belt, where 1st cousins or brothers and sisters marry, they bathe once a fortnight and where dinner is either road-kill or lead bullet-ridden wild hog.
The mind virus contagion from Woo-ham Province is spreading and the hicks are hoarding more guns than usual and lynching anyone non-Caucasian.

Pocket presence

A quarterback is said to have good pocket presence if he:

--Is able to sense when the pocket is closing in around him while simultaneously looking for open receivers

--Knows when and where to move within the pocket

--(Most importantly) Maintains composure in the pocket while under pressure
Good pocket presence separates decent quarterbacks from great quarterbacks.

Previewnesia 

The state of forgetting what movie you actually came to watch due to the excessive advertisements, trailers, previews, messages to silence one's cell phone, etc. that occur between the advertised start time of a movie and the time the feature begins. Usually, the state of Previewnesia is experienced right as the feature is (finally!) about to begin and you realize you can't remember what movie you are about to see.
Jim (to his date, Elaine): "Hey babe, do you remember what movie we are about to see? I've got previewnesia"
Elaine: "No I've got previewnesia too, I can't remember. Maybe it's Goonies 2 or Avengers 4?"

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
