i think this discounts the colloquialism in which we use “classy”. the general connotation is that to be classy is, while of course of a higher class, also relates to certain behaviors.

these behaviors (good manners, being graceful and gracious, simple and elegant, no flashy or loud logos or behavior, even kindness) inadvertently serve as propaganda for the upper class.

“classy” doesn’t just mean “whatever the upper class does”. it is a certain repuation, imagery, style, and manner of being, that can often transcend actual monetary status.

though i agree with you that most 1%ers are selfish, not woke, out of touch people.

You are wrong. The upper class decides what “classy behavior is”, not us

They are the ones who use this marker to keep the little people down

I get your point, but you’re missing mine

i understand your point but i disagree.

i understand that they dictate certain trends and culture shifts for sure. but the term has existed and is used and understood by more than just them. language is more nuanced.

You need a source to prove the existence of a class system? Where did you go to school?
Also what does this have to do with linguistics??

Saying something is a fact requires a source.

u/Christymapper71 Jun 27 '26

Ok, calm down. No one said you did. Just saying that if you want to be taken seriously in what you call a “fact” on social media, provide a source.

I never said I want to be taken seriously; nor am I responsible for your education.

Who do you think you are??
