Pauper Trolls 

Pauper Trolls
noun – satirical, cultural-political slang

Definition:
A group or subculture of perpetually disgruntled, economically stagnant individuals—often older, embittered, and clinging to nostalgic political slogans (e.g., "Make America Great Again")—who congregate (virtually or metaphorically) under bridges of misinformation, grievance, and lost relevance. Typically resistant to progress, allergic to nuance, and suspicious of facts, they bemoan modern life while ironically using its tech to spread their discontent.

Origin:
Coined humorously by a grandchild observing certain TV personas, the term gained traction as a biting generational critique—“out of the mouths of babes!”—for those stuck in cultural or economic stasis while blaming everyone but themselves.

Example:

"When Grandpa starts ranting about the 'deep state' from his Facebook bunker again, my little cousin whispers, 'Pauper Troll alert!'"

Related terms:
Grievance goblins, MAGA mopers, Boomers under bridges, Keyboard cavemen, Foxhole dwellers

myers pauper 

Myers Park is one of the most expensive areas in Charlotte, N.C. and is arguably the most prestigious neighborhood in Charlotte. Residents are known as Myers Parkers. A "Myers Pauper" is someone, usually a vacuous blonde (and mate), that spends all their income just so they can live in Myers Park for the prestige, yet have no extra money.
Ophelia Snoblingfield Deucchebagg and Pender Parker Richlingsworth III just bought a house in Myers Park, but have to eat at Taco Bell and send their kids to public school. They're Myers Paupers.
