“You tried several advances towards her through out (sp) the next hour and she politely let you know she was not interested over and over, yet you felt the need/right to continue approaching her,” Zottenberg wrote in her reply, adding that when the general manager asked the customer to pay their bill and leave, he “threatened to walk out without paying.” When the server pushed by, the customer tried to make her dance with him. Zottenberg alleges the customer at one point tried to corner the server as she left a washroom and walk her back in. On Saturday morning, Zottenberg replied to the unidentified customer, alleging an incident of sexual harassment in which a male customer tried flirting with a specific female staffer and continued making advances all evening despite being told no repeatedly.

Westcoast Homes & Design Previous Issues.Vancouver Sun Run: Sign up & event info.Originally, rumpus, like ruckus, was a fighting descriptor, but eventually a more playful connotation snuck in, until, in 1950s suburbia, the rumpus room was generally accepted term for playroom, the one part of the house that didn’t need to be kept tidy. The earliest usage I found was in the the February 24th, 1882 edition of Oklahoma’s Cherokee Advocate: “It is but right that they should know how the matter stands, and have fair warning to avoid a ‘pending’ rucus of some sort.”Īs for rumpus itself, the OED hedges its formation as probably “fanciful,” and “possibly an alteration of robustious,” a mid-eighteenth century word meaning “boisterous, noisy.” LexiconDaily points out another origin possibility: romp, from the Old French ramper “to rear, rise up.” (Ahem, ramparts.) Indeed, the etymological roads are likely interwined: best guesses point to ruckus being an American fin de siecle-era portmanteau of rumpus and ruction, a colloquial term for disturbance. Sometimes, it is used as a synonym for “hubbub,” or “fuss,” as in “I don’t see what all the ruckus was about.” I loved that the summer camp took the boisterous fun road, the rumpus road, as it were. Generally, “ruckus” is used to soften the blow of a negative situation, a bar fight, say, or the actions of a small mob of angry youths. rumpled, rucksack, and my favorite, rumpus, as vividly, roaringly rendered by Maurice Sendak. Second of all, I have a general fondness for words that begin with “rump” or “ruck,” e.g. A friend, in a fundraising email for a summer camp, wrote that the camp’s mission statement contains the line: “To create a youthful ruckus of adventure and spirit where souls are ripened and freedom is discovered.” First of all, that is fantastic, and exactly what all camps should be, rather than the dull monotony of soccer balls and flip turns and missed slap shots that were my lot each summer until I was finally old enough to work.
