Get the Ruskie mug.This is a mispronounced Russian word for "Russian". At list that is what I hear in the Hollywood movies.
It should be spelt "rooskii" to sound right (Русский).
It is also of male gender.
"ruski" male - "roosskaia" female.
Someone here wrote that "genueine" Russian surnames usually end with "ski". That is actually not true. Majority of those ending with "ski" are _Jewish_ and Polish (that is where most of the Jews settled originally when they ran centuries ago from Israel - Poland and Ukrane).
Russian surnames usually end with "ov", "ev" or "in" (for males) - like Putin and Medvedev or Gorbachev, and "ova" and "ina" for females. Like Kurnikova or Sharapova.
The remark someone made about Russians being short tempered and killing anyone who calls them ruski - is rubbish.
There are a lot of non-Russian ethnicities living in Russian Federation ( members of mafia too). Those who live around and up in Caucasus mountains (Chechnya, Georgia, Armenia etc.) and who look like Italians and Greeks - have much shorter temper than Russians. They have "pride" and can kill for it like Sicilians would. Stalin (real name Djugashvili) for example was Georgian (this is just to explain why he did not look like Russian, but not to say that all Georgians are bad or anything like that). A lot of those ethnicities are actually smarter than an average drinking Russian (contrary to what was said here). And who knows what is going to happen if you call a Chechen - "hey ruski !"

- Hey ruski, drunk again?
- Go watch some stupid Hollywood blockbuster you amerikanski pig. May loose the rest of your useless brains!
:-)
P.S. Some Russians in certain places do drink a lot. But not all. Not even 10% of population. Those who do though - drink really hard! This comes from the past. What one had to do in a remote village during a long and a very, very cold winter, if he could not even get outside? - Eat and drink what was saved during the 3 months of summer.

Get the Loose Ruskie mug.The russian word for "russian".
it IS often used as a racist term for russians, but very few people are brave enough to use racist terminology against russians, because Russians are usually buff, and can kick the crap out of anyone.
