Get the crumb mug.(noun)
Pronunciation: /krʌm 'dʌmpstər/
Definition: A person or organization that eagerly seeks to participate in, or benefit from the power and wealth of the dominant elite (often referred to as the 'Oligarchs'), even accepting the most minor and unwanted portions of said power and wealth (symbolized by 'crumbs'). Despite being far removed from the direct influence of the oligarchs, they uphold their ideologies, often covertly.
This term often carries a connotation of pretense or hypocrisy, as in the case of a purportedly progressive individual or entity that nonetheless harbors a disdain for poverty and a desire for prestige. A crumb dumpster is distinct from related concepts such as crumb catchers, and crumb bags, which represent different degrees of proximity to and engagement with the oligarchs' power.
Origin: This term is a compound of "crumb", from the Old English "cruma", and "dumpster", an American English term from the 20th century. Its use as a metaphor for a certain type of ambitious individual or organization seems to have originated in the early 21st century, particularly in socio-political discourse.
Synonyms: social climber, sycophant, opportunist, pretender, wannabe
Related Terms: Crumb Catcher (a person or entity that catches and benefits from the immediate fallout of the oligarchs' power), Crumb Bag (a person or entity that removes and disposes of these remnants, potentially for their own gain).
