The term for a student at South Africa's Rhodes University.
Rhodes is notorious for its heavy-drinking scene. Thus, being a Rhodent is also synonymous with drinking heavily.
'Everyone was funneling vodka and downing wine from the bottle, it was a typical Rhodent party.'
Originates from the Jamaican language, it is a mixture of words: "rawda" meaning rather and "don" usually meaning a male mafia boss. A person described as a Rhoden is a person who embodies the pinnacle of all the important social aspects, if a Rhoden is not at a social gathering it's not worth going to. The people usually put under this "Rhoden" category are usually Jamaican but can also be from African-American origins aswell. A Rhoden also uses the Border* at the correct moment. *see what border means in urbandicionary for definition.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
