Rentamob

Hi,

"Might this be the much talked-about “squeezed middle” expressing its anger, rather than the usual rentamob of Swampy lookalikes?" [Fro The Telegraph.]

What does the word "rentamob" mean?

Thank you.

Anonymous What does the word "rentamob" mean? term=rent-a-mob The definition doesn't really capture the full meaning. In addition to what the urban dictionary says the members of a rent-a-mob are often paid (by the so-called "grassroots operatives", thus the term "rent") to appear at certain places and times for political purposes.

It is probably more often spelled "rent-a-mob."

Here is the definition from the urban dictionary: A large group of people who are always protesting, seemingly irrationally, and mobilized by "grassroots operatives."
