Re: What Names Do You Consider Low Class?
in reply to a message by Joiya
I don't like "working class" being used in this context. I'm not talking to you specifically, Joiya, but since it was brought up I just wanted to say that. I am working class, and I hate to see some people use it in a way that suggests it's less than, or undesirable. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but that's just how I feel.

AgreedBeing working class does not make a person tacky anymore than being rich makes people classy.

Indeed, there's a whole difference between the wholesome working class and the type of people one would see on Jerry Springer. The personalities in particular.

That kind of behavior isn't limited to the working class, though. Paris Hilton is upper-class, and we all know what her vagina looks like. Ariana Grande had money before she was famous (I believe her mother is a CEO), and she thinks it's hilarious to lick donuts and spread her germs to unsuspecting people. Shameless is shameless, no matter what bracket you're in.

I don't like it in context either. I used it in reference to CN's post. No personal affront taken, btw. Honestly, the only time I see this differentiation (as in working class versus upper class means something in terms of quality) is online for names. I think some of us make the same mistake when we think names are too "pompous" for use or something too. We assign it a class based on our opinion, which may or may not be even accurate. I hope being working class isn't undesirable, since I am working class myself!

Better working class, than too-lazy-to -move from-in-front-of-the television!
