what exactly is a ruffian

[The Terminator]

ive always thought of a ruffian as the type of bloke who gets to away games a few hours early . has a few pints sometimes the odd pie and enjoys a bit of a sing song in the pub and during the game (witch is me) but a quick look on the web and it came up with these results: a cruel and brutal fellow

so what dose nsc class as a RUFFIAN

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Ruffian was a stupid phrase coined by some GOONS on here when it was 1901 this and regular STHs that. .

What you have looked up is the traditional meaning of the word, but it is a slightly dated term and is frequently used to by spoof versions of the upper class to look down on the lower classes, which is how it has been mostly used on here with the 1901 season ticket discussions.
