So this person was dating a girl namedRuth. Since they broke up, he is no longer with Ruth, which makes him“Ruth-less.”This is a cleverplay on words, or pun, because “ruthless” is a real word meaning without pity or compassion, and here it’s used literally to mean “without Ruth.”
The humor comes from the double meaning, and it’s likely that the other person had beenwaiting for the perfect momentto make this joke ever since the breakup.
