A scholar, from Rhodes college. Rhodes scholar. Seems accurate to me.

Fuck Oxford. I'm gonna start calling anyone who attended Rhodes college a Rhodes scholar from now on, for the same reason I intentionally mispronounce the word croissant. Nothing worse than an American who worships Europeans. Like that goober John Kerry.

No, it's just that the French in Paris get all aggrieved when you don't pronounce it like they do. And few things bring me more joy than an aggrieved Parisian.
