I only played that adventure once in 1990 or so, and all those critters blended together in the tattered annals of my memory... My bad. I stand corrected.

Probably - it got used quite a bit in early Marvel superhero comics from the 1960s, which were often set in and around circuses.

This predates the Chris Claremont era of X-Men and other titles, in which every single damn character calls another person "bunkie" to the point that I wished Chris Claremont would die.

Oh, and to stay on topic: Fage the Kexy.

Cheers,

There's an issue from the early Chris Claremont X-Men days, in which the phrase shows up; it is used to summon help from other carnies. That was in the mid to late 70s.

I've never heard it used in any other media, myself. Just Marvel comics and Keep on the Borderlands.

I'm still not quite clear on what exactly a "rube" is, but then I haven't exactly gone looking.

Pardon me, is that a dragon in your pocket or are you just glad to see - ARGH! THE BURNING!

I remember (barely) a John Wayne movie set in a carnival where it is used. That was were I learned what the term was for.

Hannibal Lecter uses it when mocking Clarice Starling's background, too.

I will not buy this record, it is scratched.

No, no. This is a tobacconist's.

The campaign I'm preparing has a BBEG wizard named Bargle and his goblin lieutenant, Bree Yark. I guess his mother was rather unkind.
