The origin of "m'Lady" ?

[Norville Wood]

Jack Black said that in the Silverman movie.

I'm wondering if it started sooner, maybe in one of those modern chivalry rom coms.

Heath Ledger was in a movie, a rom com about the middle ages and jousting.

I think they used it then.

Today, it's just a funny as hell troll.

it was a popular conjunction in the Middle Ages or at least it that's what modern media portrays it as. I guess some nerds into fantasy shit like DnD and LOTR started to copy it in the 90s-2000s thinking it sounded cool and thus it became a meme in the 2010s when "cringe culture" took off.

Origin of the term as it is popularized online: Those kids we all knew in middleschool (maybe HS too) who felt that differentiating themselves with cringey theatric quarks would get them a chance with a foid.

I give them credit at least for exhausting every strategy

Cringe culture.

It sounds a bit like the Monty Python absurdist humour craze of the seventies.

Men used to call foids m'lady in the victorian era thinking being gentlemen will get them laid.
