      1. Wikipedia doesn't give an etymology for 'Mickey Mouse' as a pejorative but does give a selection of examples of it used as such in popular culture mostly from the late 1970s to the late 1990s. @TelegraphLife/1539710004906938371

      This suggests that not only is it boomers who think in terms of using 'Mickey Mouse' as a pejorative but they're also failing to update their thinking to incorporate when The Walt Disney Company, represented by Mickey Mouse, became the biggest media conglomerate on the planet.
