You're not getting out enough, Gunner. Ruck is a rugby term - it's
when the forwards all lock up together over the ball and try to push

I'll be damned if I know how he gets cats to do it, though.

I thought that was a "scrum".

When I started playing in 1964 (prop and second row), scrum was applied
to the forwards in general, and to when they formed up over the ball -
a formal scrum or a loose scrum. Ruck seems to have taken over, at
least for the loose scrum.
