Ringer means E.T looked very similar to or a twin to Auggie. Ringer is a short form of deadringer.
Origin of the term. A long time ago they would tie a string around your finger and the other end was tied to a bell. This was done when you died and were burried. If you were not actually dead and woke up in a coffin. Your movement would ring the bell and they would dig you up. So you could go to a funeral and then see that person a week later. Since this doesn't happen anymore. The term has come to mean a person who looks very much like someone else you know.
