I just peaked at middle class wankerism

[Buckarooo]

At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

no. I don’t mind threads sliding past that mean nothing to me… but this really is next level arse, so I commented.

I am from a working class background. I prefer to be called working class. But I also know that I'm solidly middle class right now. The reason the op is funny is because people like me are aware of the diffrence in linguistics as we move about the social class system. No I can't be a quant and working class I just can't. But If you called me middle class I'd be insulted. Why. My background is working class. It's not hard it's not complex.

It’s not disappointing, it’s just wanky on a level that made me feel compelled to comment.

Sadly, It Was Not.

You do sound quite confused, tbh.

It doesn’t work like this. I have a cousin who is very dyslexic. He quit school at 16 and got a job as a painter and decorator and has always lived in relative poverty. This doesn’t mean he suddenly moved down a class and most true middle class people would immediately recognise him as middle class. I could also take a typical working class job, but the true working classes would still recognise me as not working class or “truly one of them”.
it would take a few generations. I am not saying one class is better than the other here and everyone can enjoy an avocado or not in my case as I loathe them.

Your grammar is so poor I’m shocked that you’re berating others about education.

Well okay now I like you I fucking hate avocado and cucumbers and olives.

It's about a woman whose child had posher food than she had when she was growing up, told in a gently funny way.
No need for all the weirdness that has ensued

Lucky for me I'm only needed for my number crunching.

Me too 😂

What makes you “solidly middle class now” btw, @BeCleverViewer ?
Tell me it’s not your Le Creuset spoon rest?

I defy anyone to say the word brioche does not sound a bit posh.

Your literally a fool. Oops.

I do not understand what you don't understand. There is a legal define classification system. When people in this thread began defining middle class as some arbitrary Bullshit it's just a description of various socionomical and educatin states. Listen working and middle class are not fixed states. Your background is your background but yes a person born to middle class parents can become work8ng class. It's that simple. I hate illogical arguments

I can’t believe any self respecting middle class parent would give their child brioche?!!! The sugar, the upfs!!!! Must be lower middle class, everyone knows the staple middle class bread product is sourdough.

Isn’t it because it’s French and traditionally the “aspiring classes” / lower middle have always though French sounds a bit push. Hence the serviette versus napkin debate. I am sure there are aspiring people with daughters called Briocha all over the place in Suburbia.

I make sure to avoid any markers that might out me. I mean by the government's description of what middle class means just that. I'm so comfortable in myself I've never thought to aspire to being middle class I just am.

Brioja (combining brioche with Rioja which also, to my lowly chav ear, also sounds posh and I only recently learned how to pronounce it)

Suburbia is also a lovely name. If I wasn't well past my child bearing years I might have Brioche & Suburbia on my list. I'll save them for future grandchildren.

This is total tosh. Especially the fantastic notion that the class system is “legally defined”.

No they can’t. My children went to a mixed school with many true working class children and their parents would laugh at me at the school gates for the way I pronounced “fuck”! I would never be accepted as working class. It goes both ways. It’s not easy to move between classes in this country. The social codes are difficult to learn. You have to be born into it. You can’t just send your kids to private and think. Is they are middle class either.
I don’t think this is a good thing, but it is how it is.

Briocha- Rioja!

Hope the 3yo was called Balonz 😁

Not really just aware of the foolishness people try to propagate against working class people. So I fight it at every turn. I loathe people who think being middle class is an ach8vement. Means fuck all.
