Origin of Concept - Descended from the archetype of the yuppie, an urban rube is a person with a simplistic and narrow minded outlook that is open to only to a very narrow range of ideas that are labeled "openminded."
Although the great majority of these people are living in urban settings this mentality is not restricted to the cities it can and does exist beyond through the influence of the media.
They tend to be university "educated" and subscribe to trendy culture and idealistic social movements. These qualities are not prerequisites to the title however. Urban rubism is polymorphic social phenomenon that continues to branch into new areas of society.
2. The phenomenon of the urban rube has gone beyond its original scope is often seen to manifest itself in a variety of subcultures and often crosses socioeconomic strata from street level thugs to midlevel businessmen.
Warning - Approach intellectual discussions with caution if you are a free thinker as they are known for their fervent defense of their mainstream ideologies. They are often typified as having a world view that only encompasses the breadth needed to survive in the modern metropolises.

A person that lives in the city, whether it be big or small, or elsewhere that is not on the open sea, that partakes in the ritual of stealing anything he can get his hands on.
In the plural sense, a band of urban pirates may go and steal things because they are bored, not just because it makes them feel good.

One who suffers Urban Addictionary and is therefore addicted to providing definitions for the Urban Dictionary.
That Urban Addict visited Urban Dictionary at home, at school and at public libraries. He considers his addiction a form of business.
