It's spelled like it sounds! :D


Local to south Jersey it's "ruckers".


I’m from south Jersey and have never heard of this “ruckers”. Is it near Ouaisné?


I was about to call fake on this -- Americans from south Jersey are largely unfamiliar with the present perfect and would not say "[I] have never heard of" but "[I] never heard of" instead.

But it turns out this grammatical cue is an effective way to discover that the comment is not about an American south Jersey but a British one.


It’s an Albany expression.
