Ragamuffin

From Roman Dirge's comic book series/flash cartoons. He originally was a vampire who would feed on humans.

One night, he attacked a woman and ate her. Her sister saw this, and being a witch, turned him into a doll for eternity. It was said that one drop of blood would turn him back to being a vampire.

But Lenore being dead and having embalming fluids and her blood mixed together, Ragamuffin was doomed to be a doll forever. He is good friends with Lenore.

Raggame

When you wear that fresh clean doo rag and its so clean that it makes all the vaginas in the club wet and stinky; When your fresh sunday is so clean all you can say is "cant stop, wont stop, its baaad boooy" in a soft spoken voice.
Matt asked his mom to buy him a fresh sunday rag to impress all the girls he'll be fucking this summer in college and the girls would scream about how his Raggame is so tight. Matt said "they wouldnt even let me fuck them with my dick, they made me fuck them with my extra thick Raggame". 10 inches of BAAAD BOOOY....

Ragamuffin

In the 1980s, however, particularly in West London and Brixton, the word took on a new meaning, that of a dangerous, disaffected, black teenage or young adult male. Ragamuffins or 'Raggas' prided themselves on violently attacking white males, often with knives, frequently on the grounds of fictitious claims of racism. Ragamuffins typically dressed in hooded tops, jeans and Nike or Adidas trainers, and listened to electro and early hip hop music.

Raggamuffin (with two Gs) is also a Jamaican term and has been used in Jamaica both to describe individuals and a style of music. More recently the term has entered the mainstream, meaning a particular style of dancehall music which has its roots in Jamaica (see Ms. Dynamite, Shaggy).
