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
