With a genesis in the circus, "Hey Rube" is hollered when an individual wants to call for help from his entire team in an emergency.
If someone is being attacked, they would yell out "Hey Rube" and his compatriots would rush to rally to his defense.

Origin - 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 and exists can 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 word 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.

(Derrogatory.) A cubicle in which an entry-level IT or clerical employee works, typically far from the break room and restroom and having no windows.
The new employee did not take lightly the fact that her workspace was refered to as a "rube cube" by the other employees.

It’s a mantra; basically, a way of life.
It’s a sense of being uniquely you; curious; smiling when you feel like it; drinking milk; leaving your home well-dressed and caring only about your own vibes.

The water filled the bucket, the bucket weighed down causing a lever to move, causing a radio to turn on, causing vibrations and moving a ping pong ball down a small slope of wood, causing a domino chain to fall and to hit a switch, causing a light bulb to turn on. That is a Rube Goldberg
