Aliasing riffraff → riff-raff
Link to alias

Reason:

According to the Heathcliff wiki this character's name is supposed to be spelt with a hyphen. http://heathcliff.wikia.com/wiki/Riff-Raff

EDIT: The tag alias riffraff -> riff-raff (forum #238837) has been approved by @Rainbow_Dash.

-1. Riffraff is a term for "Commoners," "Peasants," etc. Use a suffix, such as riff-raff_(heathcliff).

Has anyone ever used the tag to describe that?

No...the 2 times it's been tagged that I can see are both referring to the Cadillac Cats character.

Gok is just being belligerent...riffraff should never be used by its real definition...that would be a bad tag...because we don't really tag a character's socioeconomic status, and even if we did we wouldn't use a derogatory term like "riffraff".

I don't think calling them that is appropriate here... the tag could be used to describe certain things occurring in art, where a person's socioeconomic status is both non-literal and visual. That's not to say the tag is what we should use in such a case, but it can occur "naturally" without referring to the true meaning.

For instance, is it not logical to declare a group of "console peasants" to be riff raff when the "PC master-race" strolls by? It definitely isn't wrong, the term would be used as a joke for a group of observed casuals in comparison to a observed superior.

But I'm not gonna actually give any + or -, I'm just saying that it doesn't need to be taken literally for someone to try and tag it. We have plenty of mock tags that people use to try and describe an image, and riff raff could become one of them.

But then what if we need to stock up on anthrofied porn of jody highroller?

It could become one? Why do we need to worry about something that *might* happen? Of course we should be students of history, but why try to predict the future? It seems wiser to me to simply act on the knowledge we have now and worry about possible mutations of a word if and when they occur. Personally...I highly doubt the term "riffraff" is going to come back into fashion any time soon, and it's even less of a possibility that it will return in such a way that makes it a viable tag.

... I'm for the aliasing away. I'm not giving a + because there may be a better option, but who am I to judge?
