like, not that they're not basically accurate, but if you're going to use a pejorative term, it feels like it works better if people have a pre-existing emotional attachment to themPermalink Look on archive.org

doing the research, and "grifter" only got popular in the last two decades, but "grift" and "shill" are vaguely old-timey words. a bit more American than British, but not much. (note: data only goes to 2019, so the NFT part is unaddressed)Look on archive.org
