I wouldn't doubt it... I mean, I know who Schroeder is as well as the rest of the Charlie Brown gang, but not sure how Schroeder is related to "riffraff". I know he was always dirty, but when I hear "riffraff", I think of huge, course gravel or rocks... my Dad's a general contractor so that's where that comes from.

Makes sense now! Clay, that is awesome! I can sure identify with that, too... I feel like that pretty much all the time.

More in depth as well...


Riffraff is a term for the common people or hoi polloi. The term is derived from Old French 'rif et raf' meaning 'one and all, every bit'

Hoi polloi, an expression meaning "the many", or in the strictest sense, "the majority" in Greek, is used in English to denote "the masses" or "the people", usually in a derogatory sense. Synonyms for "hoi polloi" include "... commoners, great unwashed, minions, multitude, plebeians, proletariat, rank and file, riffraff, the common people, the herd, the many, the plebs, the proles, the peons, the working class".

I think that sums up our group
