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.
