Answer

I know this only as a surname.

Answer

I have seen Rutledge as both a family name and a place name but NEVER a vocabulary.

Did you type this from something you heard or was it copied from actual written text?

Answer

I think they're using Rutledge's name as a verb for something. I've had a look and I can't work out who it might be. So, I'm not sure what it means.

Example:
If you had a friend called Sam who was well known for always messing things up. You might be talking to different friend and say don't "Sam" it up please. Meaning: don't mess it up.
