Ruffe
The Eurasian ruffe (''Gymnocephalus cernua''), also known as ruffe or pope, is a freshwater fish found in temperate regions of Europe and northern Asia. It has been introduced into the Great Lakes of North America, reportedly with unfortunate results, as it is invasive and is reproducing faster than other species. Its common names are ambiguous – "ruffe" may refer to any local member of its genus ''Gymnocephalus'', which as a whole is native to Eurasia. Description The ruffe's colors and markings are similar to those of the walleye, an olive-brown to golden-brown color on its back, paler on the sides with yellowish white undersides. The ruffe can reach up to in length, but is usually around half that size. It is a very aggressive fish for its size. The ruffe also has a large, spiny dorsal fin which is likely distasteful to its predators. It also has two fins on top, the front fin has hard and sharp spines, the back fin has soft spines called rays. The most obvious featur ...

Ruff And Honours
Ruff and Honours, Ruffe and Trump or Slamm was an English trick-taking card game that was popular in the 16th and 17th centuries; it was superseded in the 18th century by Whist. History Ruff and Honours is covered in Charles Cotton's ''The Compleat Gamester'' of 1674 where it is described as being commonly known in all parts of England. At the time Randle Cotgrave thought the name was just a synonym for Trump. The game was also known as Slamm, a less popular form was called Whist, and it was closely related to Ruffe and Trump described by Francis Willughby. Willughby speculated that there was an earlier simple trick-taking game without the ruff and honours. Cavendish and others state that ruff and honours was a descendant of the French game of Triomphe (→ Middle English ''triumph'' → Modern English ''trump''). Triomphe, whose English variant was known as French Ruff, was a five-card game using a shortened deck, an up-turned trump card and played either in partnership or si ...

Sensational Spelling
Sensational spelling is the deliberate spelling of a word in a non-standard way for special effect. Branding Sensational spellings are common in advertising and product placement. In particular, brand names such as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (''crispy cream''), Weetabix (''wheat'', with ''bix'' being derived from ''biscuits''), Blu-ray (''blue''), Kellogg's " Froot Loops" (''fruit'') or Hasbro's Playskool (''school'') may use unexpected spellings to draw attention to or trademark an otherwise common word. In video games, well-known examples of sensational spelling include "'' Mortal Kombat'' (''combat'') and Nintendo's "Pak" (''pack''), the name used for the media and accessories of its early video game systems. In popular music Sensational spelling may take on a cult value in popular culture, such as the heavy metal umlaut. During the 1960s, bands often included in their names misspelled words and/or homophones that played on double meanings of the names as spoken. Examples ...
