You mean rogue?

- GordonS 8y agoIt's a play on "red"; the Dr is Chinese.
- toyg 8y ago(For grammar-challenged people who might take dry humour as serious: above comment is clearly a joke. “Rouge” is the French word for “red”, but it’s a common misspelling for the English word “rogue”. It’s pretty clear the top post in thread is a misspelling, not a pun.)
- GordonS 8y agoEh? I wasn't joking, and I've never seen "rogue" mis-spelled as "rouge". The top post even put it in double quotes, e.g. "rouge". That makes it pretty clear it's a pun, in this case playing on rogue and red - and it works all the better because of the recent 'red danger', anti-Chinese sentiment that the powers that be are currently stirring up.
- toyg 8y agoIf you’ve never seen rouge as misspelling of rogue, you haven’t read enough intertubes. Beyond that, I guess we won’t know until drmix intervenes - although now he’d say “of course!” it was voluntary ;)
