In episode #14 of the 3rd season, he cries to his estranged father, Mister Ruckus, "I hate you! You the reason why, after I say the name 'Ruckus,' I always say, "No relation." I am adopted! I am adopted!"

It means two things,
1) His first name is uncle, so whenever he introduces himself to someone he tells them that he is not related to them.
2) His fathers uncle was named ruckus, so he wants to make it clear that he is not associated with his biological family.
