What does that mean? Like someone from the victorian age? I think they are all dead.
- pmahoney 10y agoJust guessing, but maybe a reference to Neal Stephenson's novel, _The Diamond Age_. If I recall, "vicky" is a slightly derogatory term used to describe (wealthy) residents of New Victoria, who are shown to buy things like handmade furniture (where mass-produced machine-made furniture is cheaper if not also higher quality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age
- usrusr 10y agoSorry for the confusion. Like the other answer said, as in neo-Victorian, the retro-tribe from The Diamond Age. I was hoping that the reference was buried deep enough in a tangent to be harmless, and you mostly figured it out from context anyways.
