Rube is an insulting word for a person considered uneducated or uncultured. Your average country bumpkin is also a rube. This word implies a lack of sophistication, manners, education, and culture. Rubes are usually from rural areas, and theyâre also known as bumpkins, hayseeds, hicks, yahoos, yokels, and hillbillies.
A rub is an impediment and is taken from the sport of bowls, where rub means that something hinders the free movement of your bowl. without rub or impediment (Swift) Like a bowle that runneth in a smooth allie,without anie rub (Stanihurst) So the phrase roughly means: That's where the problem is. I don't think it is misused nowadays half as much as Wherefore art thou, Romeo? being used to mean Where are you? instead of Why are you?
