Rubbie

A slang term used in the Canadian Prairies to refer to an alcoholic whose favorite drink of choice comes from the medic aisle of Rexall.

A rubbie is usually a bum who's too poor to afford actual alcohol and instead drinks Listerine or rubbing alcohol, hence the term 'rubbie'.

Can also be used as a generic term for a bum.

Eh boy last night I saw your dad at a rubbie camp across the bridge
