It was
the Fairfield High School kids who first started the word "ru." I recall
while I was in living in Missouri, the kids would refer to people of the
female persuasion as "gina," which is not pronounced like the Italian
actress' name (Ms. Lollobrigida), so the epithet for TMers was probably
more reflective of youthful playfulness than hostility, although kids
certainly are not shy about showing lack of respect.To counter the
ru thing, some Fairfield TMers started referring to locals as "rubs,"
since the Fairfield High School team name was the "Trojans" (the name for
a prophylactic brand for you non-Americans), but it never really caught
on.
Somebody told me years ago that "ru's" was interchangeable
with "Taters", short for meditater. Sounds a bit more
"country".
