It does have different shades of meaning over there. And he didn't even level that as an accusation this time around (it was "posh" and I'm sure that was not the word what got him FP'd). I was just ragging on him because it's a tired schtick. As a middle-class guy who struggles daily, I kinda wish he'd call off the class war.

Well shit. Tensions appear to be running high atm, so many fucking bans.
I was just coming on here to say that in lieu of finding any previously-stated rule, we've decided that the precedent with Van Horn Street is that two 20-in-a-month bans will just be week-long ones each time. If you get two minibans you're pretty close to a month-long ban so we figure keeping it simple should work better.

"Middle class" just means "normal" here--something like 90% of people in the US identify as middle class. As for me, I'm trailer trash and know it.

Yeah the UK def of middle class is kind of an outlier even amongst European countries I think. Still not entirely sure if "upper class" is reserved solely for the aristocracy here.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 21 March 2022 14:24 (two years ago) link
Boris Johnson is considered middle class by some people but he's upper class to me. Keir Starmer, Jess Phillips, awful people like that are middle class.

There's no way 90% *are* middle class though, I'm certain the working class is a lot larger than anyone wants to admit, likely to themselves.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 21 March 2022 22:22 (two years ago) link
That's what I was saying. Also, "working class" basiclly means "underclass" in the US.
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 21 March 2022 22:37 (two years ago) link
that's the scam
the god-fearing poor think they're moments away from being rich and having the coastal homo globalists tax them at 90%

When Americans say middle class they mean homeowners.
When the British say middle class they mean the bourgeoisie.

nah, there are plenty of renters who consider themselves "middle class" in America
― sarahell, Tuesday, 22 March 2022 00:15 (two years ago) link
Usually those people will have been raised by home-owning parents so I’m sure my point stands.

Intriguing post, but to me "bourgeoisie" feels a bit of a punt, ie a straight synonym for middle class (and up), so nothing has actually been said about the British? But I am neither native UK, US or Anglophone, so please school me on "bourgeoisie".
