Definition: A pejorative term describing an individual, typically a man, whose masculinity or personal identity is heavily tied to meat consumption but is entirely dependent on industrial supply chains to procure it. The term critiques the lack of "authenticity" or "dignity" associated with directly obtaining meat, such as through hunting or butchering, while outsourcing the labor and moral burden.
Etymology: Derived from "meat" and "cuckold," implying subjugation or compromised autonomy.
Extended Usage: Highlights the contradiction in individuals who equate meat-eating with strength or dominance while disconnected from the effort that might justify such pride. It critiques performative masculinity undermined by reliance on systems they claim to reject.
Personality Traits:
Performative Strength: Glorifies meat as a symbol of toughness without direct involvement in obtaining it.
Moral Inconsistency: Ignores ethical concerns of factory farming while romanticizing meat as "natural."
Cognitive Dissonance: Dismisses vegetarians or vegans as "less manly" despite reliance on supply chains theyâd otherwise scorn.
Hyperbolic Disdain: Uses meat consumption as a badge of pride or dominance in debates.
"He posted a picture of his burger with the caption, 'Real men eat meat,' but the hypocrisy of being a meatcuck never even crossed his mind."
"The BBQ bros in the comments are all meatcucks, flexing their grills like itâs hunting season in the suburbs."

Derivative of "a king's ransom".
A zoomer's ransom is an amount of money which surpasses the normal value of an object due to the perceived value by a zoomer.
The correct value is unknown to a zoomer due to not having an accurate historical context because of their age. A Millennial might knows that the "Duck Hunt Super Mario" for NES is worthless due to experience (seeing several copies in pawn shops for a penny circa 2003 for example) a Zoomer thinks this item is valuable and is willing to pay a Zoomer's ransom for it (for example $50). Their perception is created by Retro Gaming YouTubers and other con artists (also known as reseller scum).
"I could get a zoomer's ransom for that damaged copy of Majora's Mask"
"Oh no, AVGN just did another video about the Dreamcast. It's going to cost a Zoomer's ransom for one now!"
"I paid a zoomers ransom for this copy of Contra on NES. This shouldn't have be more than $10!"
