While use of the term ''slacker'' dates back to about 1790 or 1898 depending on the source, it gained some recognition during the British [[Gezira Scheme]], when Sudanese labourers protested their relative powerlessness by working lethargically, a form of protest known as 'slacking'.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bernal|first1=V.|year=1997|title=Colonial Moral Economy and the Discipline of Development: The Gezira Scheme and "Modern" Sudan|journal=Cultural Anthropology|volume=12|issue=4|pages=447–479|doi=10.1525/can.1997.12.4.447}}</ref> The term achieved a boost in popularity after its use in the films ''[[Back to the Future]]'' and ''[[Slacker (film)|Slacker]]''.<ref name="dictionarycom" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Online Etymology Dictionary, slack (adj.)|url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=slacker&searchmode=none|publisher=Douglas Harper|access-date=2010-01-10|archive-date=2017-07-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729232316/http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=slacker&searchmode=none|url-status=live}}</ref>
