What's the most snobbish thing you've heard out loud?

[Applescruffle]

Online doesn't count. It has to be something said in person.

Here's mine, from two separate people:

"The house was perfect, but if I'm paying that much for it, I don't want to have to drive through a council estate to get there".

"We looked round (school) and it was our favourite, but there's so many council houses round that area so he would just have too many council estate kids in his class with him"

Off topic, but we used to call those biscuits 'malted mank' 😂

Were you born an arsehole or did you have to take a course?

@samarrange

WC = Working Class
MC = Middle Class (Then LMC = Lower Middle Class and UMC = Upper Middle CLass [dont ask, I am not sure of the difference either])
UC = Upper Class

Really?! We loved them!

We (the youth fellowship group) called them "Moo Cow" biscuits, because of the cows on them!

My dad loved them and the rest of us hated them! But that was what he brought home without fail, much to our chagrin. Ditto banana ice cream 😂

Oh I am with you on the banana ice cream....that is rank!

We only had digestives at home as my mother was on a permanent diet so Moo Cow biscuits were a rare treat!

Did you ever have a two digestives sandwiched with butter? That was another staple in my house. The thoughts of it 😳

Not with butter but occasionally would be allowed to make one with cheese (did I say my mother was always on a diet?!).

Cheese!?! As President Bartlet would say, 'Now there's a thought that's gonna fester' 😂😂😂

In a way I feel sorry for the Hyacinth Bucket types. Imagine people having such an inferiority complex that they feel the need scrabble like rats in search of the mass-produced symbols of the status they crave.

There can't be any peace behind all that nonsense.

A small scraping of something butter-esque assists the feast! And as you are now mistress of your own cheese, I would suggest doing it Scandi style (cheese on digestive basically!). We were only allowed it on high days or holidays!

Sadly, I have rather fixed ideas about food. Sweet and savoury must be kept apart at all costs 😳

I guess that flew right over your head.

Have you had cheese on those Hovis biscuits?

No. Are Hovis not crackers rather than biscuits though? I love cheese and crackers.

Might I suggest a wobble rather than just a tilt. 🙄

It is funny though - a witty play on words. It’s not snobbery at all

My sister and I discovered that if you spread Rich Tea biscuits with butter and toast them they taste delicious. Mum was too mean to buy anything better than Rich Tea, and she'd have been horrified if she knew we used her butter to improve them like that.

My snobbery story is a former colleague A at a firm with lots of posh men in senior positions, who said to me, of the head of our firm, "Oh X isn't a proper gentleman; he only went to a minor public school".

(A had been to Harrow, as he (apparently) made clear at an office cricket match by tying his old school tie round his straw hat. Funnily enough, it was almost identical to the ties we wore at my comprehensive in the 1970s)

It's a quote from a film.

And York.

They come in the "Biscuits for Cheese" box but they are basically digestives in a different shape.

Several decades ago, we had neighbours who thought they were a cut above, she was a SAHM, he worked on the newspapers in Fleet Street and they had one dc. My parents had 3 dc, mum worked part time and my dad worked on the London Underground (this is all for context). They also had a car, my parents didn’t drive.
Lady next door knocked on our door one day to let my mum know that if she didn’t see her washing out on the line it was because her DH had bought her a tumble dryer and she would be drying her washing in that from then on.
My mum had more important things to worry about than next doors washing 😂

Its less snobbish than deeply pretentious, cringe and funny.

I went to Cambridge. I'm not in the least bit posh, I'm just a big nerd. There was a bit of a fashion for people to pretend they'd read EVERYTHING (as though anyone in the world has read the entire canon of English Literature). I really really love Salman Rushdie (his work, not the man) and this really posh, stuck-up kid was asking me about my favourite books. I asked if he'd read The Satanic Verses and he said, "some of them".

The Satanic Verses is a novel.

Edit: Also people really do ask "Where did you go to school?"

LOL I went to my shitty local comp and truanted 50% of my lessons so I could read in peace.

School friends mum when I told her my younger brother was doing his work experience with a builder “but he won’t be wanting to do job like that?!”

I live in a council estate. It's not rough as such but it's very deprived area.

My sister telling me that her kids visiting my home gives them experience on becoming more streetwise.

Yes, I think he did mean it as a joke, but it wasn’t funny and was definitely snobby and unpleasant.
