What is Tru?
1.
Essentially, "TRu" is an expression of contentment, satisfaction, goodness, approval, and/or of course, agreement. It is generally enunciated in a deep, low voice, with a slightly increasing pitch, and the vowel sound of "u" is elongated without the diphthong.
"TRu" can also be used to fill a void in conversation.
Note #1: There is no "e" at the end of "TRu", and the "R" is always
capitalized.
Note #2: When "TRu" is followed by exclamation point(s), an optional space
can precede each exclamation point to express additional emphasis:

Extremely exciting: TRu ! ! !

Also Known as "True", "Trues":
Its a common phrase originating in Cleveland made popular by Bone Thugs N Harmony. It basically means what it says, a "true" or "real" thug. To be a true, you have to be true to yourself and not be a fake. You have to be true to the people around, you have to be real about everything and come from the heart about everything. A "tru" doesnt mean a gangsta, becuz there are fake gangsters and there are wannabe gangsters,a "Tru" is completely real.
The phrase became popular specifically on the Eastside of Cleveland on St. Clair Ave. (Tha Clair) Especially in the
Flesh N Bone: T.H.U.G.S.: Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls.
There was also a female rap duo from Cleveland named "II Tru"

Stands for "are Tradeschools Really Universities?" aka Thompson Rivers University. Which, thanks to a government conversion of a bunch of former colleges into "Universities" is a college turned (sort of) University in Kamloops, BC, Canada, where you can get a BSc majoring in Chemistry with a minor in Plumbing, or the ever popular double major in Business Administration & Woodwork.
