noun /ro͞obz/
A frustratingly well-meaning individual who exudes positivity and confidence while leaving a trail of unintentional destruction in their wake. Rubes genuinely believe they’re excelling, often offering unsolicited help, smiling through every blunder, and remaining blissfully unaware of the chaos they cause. Though polite and affable, their presence provokes an existential crisis in those forced to clean up after them. You don’t hate Rubes… but if you were locked in a room with one and a nerf bat, it might get weird.

“I asked him to double-check the numbers. Now the spreadsheet’s broken, the client’s confused, and somehow we’re catering a vegan luau. Classic Rubes.”

Scornful carny slang term for a disgruntled mark. Also has a similar use in retail to describe an entitled or an asshole customer. Being a rube is NOT a good thing
Carny no.1- that mark got mad because I wouldn’t give him a freebie!
Carny no.2- what a rube!
Cashier no.1- that lady wouldn’t get off her phone in the checkout lane and then got mad at me and complained because I didn’t scan her groceries in the order she never told me she wanted because she expected me to be a mind reader!
Cashier no.2- what a total rube!

Rube: insult, meaning uncultured, undereducated rural person. Often spelled Roob by genuine Rubes. Contrary to popular belief, people who use the term Rube or Roob are subconsciously and ironically self identifying.
“Did you see that Rube in cowboy boots at the co-op yesterday? He definitely had dried manure on his boots,” said the turtleneck wearing San Franciscan to a friend. They were on their way home from Barnes and Noble, carefully zigzagging through the tents and human feces that dominated the landscape.
