What are we called anyway?

Rubi kans, Rubi karians?

Do we push the planet's name into one word? hyphenate?

Thanks,

I've always used "Rubi-Kaans".

**_________SanFranFitz** · Feb 12th, 2002, 21:31:42

Not sure why it really matters, BUT...

If you use the same convention as, say, being AmeriCAN if from AmeriCA, I would surmise that one from Rubi-Ka would be a Rubi-Kan.

**___________Ananomous** · Feb 12th, 2002, 21:36:38

Guess that's true...

**______KramerTheWeird** · Feb 13th, 2002, 00:07:33

I believe we are called rubian-kanianitihianakans, but that's just me.

**__________WGMelchior** · Feb 13th, 2002, 00:08:18

It's usually labeled "Citizens of Rubi-Ka". No need to fiddle with gramar and such then.

Does this make me a "Rubi-Kan-American". We do it with everyone else

I have seen the official website use the term Rubikans.

Not sure what the "we do it with everyone else" is all about, but my guess is that you'd only be a Rubi-Kan-American if you were a native of Rubi-Ka that got citizenship in America (e.g. Chinese-American, Irish-American). Now, dontcha think?

**Provisioner** · Feb 13th, 2002, 01:22:43

Jeez, I guess you're right. So maybe I'm an "American-Rubi-Kan"...

(* and the "we do it with everyone else" comment meant, simply, that we cannot accept people as Americans and must be far too accepting of every else's "nationality" - even though they haven't lived in that "nation", and even their great-great-great-grandparents haven't lived there in 100s of years... *)

Ugh...!

Ah yes, Provisioner, I get your point and agree. Without getting too far out on an extremely off-topic conversation, I think what you're saying is that people tend to be "American" when it's convenient, and <insert nationality here>-American when it's convenient, regardless of whether they, or any of their relatives, have ever even stepped foot in the Motherland!

Anyway, I agree with you. 'Nuff said about that.

Couldn't have said it better myself (...and didn't)...

I mean...Hey!...Is that someone other there complaining about his proffession?

In my case the correct term is Gimp

**________________Ecce** · Feb 13th, 2002, 19:54:06

Ah...good point there.

So, would we be Rubi-karian, Rubi-kalings? Doesn't work for me.

I suppose Rubi-kan is easiest, much like Roman (Rome), American (America), etc.

Try "goofballs". Seems more fitting after reading this thread.

Heheh. Sorry, couldn't resist.

**_________SanFranFitz** · Feb 13th, 2002, 22:42:43

Yeah, goofballs. I like it.

**Provisioner** · Feb 13th, 2002, 22:55:22

At least everyone knows we're just being stupid
