Why did I create this thread?
Of course, I know very well what whales eat. And I know well the difference in the diet of different species of whales.
Here, in general, this question is of secondary importance. Here's a little historical background:
Even in ancient Rome, there was an expression "new man" - novus homo. This was the name given to plebeians and representatives of noble families who managed to get high government positions. The patrician aristocrats looked at them with contempt.
The French phrase "nouveau riche" appeared in the 19th century. With the transition to capitalism, an industrial society, the role of the nobility began to decline, and enterprising representatives of the "vile class" began to grow rich: the children of shopkeepers, artisans, and peasants could become wealthy manufacturers and bankers.
The old French aristocracy treated the "new rich" with condescension, despised their ignorance, ignorance of secular manners, low cultural level. At the same time, the nouveau riche, wishing to raise their social status, could buy titles of nobility.
So the development of cryptocurrencies over the past 13 years has led to the creation of a whole army of unexpectedly enriched people, the ideal and which can be jokingly considered dreams of "Lambo, their island and many women, mulattos."
And some of the newly born "whales" are completely unsuitable for possessing colossal fortunes. Here, in order to somehow distinguish such "new rich" who have earned on cryptocurrencies, it is worth having an international term in English.
Well, make your suggestions on how to call such people so that the comic meaning is still clear.
I'm here and thought that "Hwale" might well be such a word.
What can you suggest?
