Rubes is a derogatory term, primarily used in the United States, to describe people perceived as unsophisticated, naive, and often rural. It implies a lack of worldly experience and a susceptibility to being easily fooled or taken advantage of. The term often carries connotations of someone being simple-minded, gullible, and lacking in urban sophistication or knowledge of current trends. This perception can stem from their geographic location, limited education, or cultural background. Historically, the term has been associated with farmers and people living in rural areas, but the implication extends to anyone exhibiting the aforementioned traits.
