Thread Not for the Self-Effacing: how do you recognize your good breeding relatively

Well…no. Obviously something went horribly wrong in the breeding process.

Wow. I thought we all understood by now that “high class” is only an indication of privilege, not superiority. I’ll refrain from saying what I think of the OP - my inferior “breeding” allows me to use profanity, but the forum rules do not.

For starters, I never, ever call it “good breeding”.

I’d call this guy a racist, too, only he’s not technically prejudiced in favor of a race. ‘Classist’ just doesn’t have the same ring, y’know?

I think I’ll try starting a Pit thread about this.

I’m usually too busy sitting around in jeans, a t-shirt, and Converse All Stars telling jokes involving the words “fart” and “booger” to notice how much better-bred I am than people I meet…

I think the best standard for determining good breeding, at least as a starting point, is finding out how many of the subject’s ancestors have won the Triple Crown.

The word you are looking for is Elitist.

Why, thank you, X~Slayer(ALE). I do believe you’re correct.

  1. Accent, not got a Home coutnies accent? I spit at you from the top of my very tall tower!

  2. Number of lodges on the persons estate, only one? Get away from me you lower class oik!

  3. Old School tie, WTF is Harrow? Get off my property or I’ll have the footman set the dogs on you!

A poorly written OP, such as this one, is a sure sign that the person is “breedingly challenged”.

I’m assuming this is a bit of a wind-up–class is not about “good breeding” but about how you treat people.

When I want to find out if my breeding is superior to another man’s, I roll over and ask his wife ::rimshot::

To me, true good breeding, class, or whatever else you want to call it, is about making the person you’re interacting with feel as if they are well bred and classy.

I breed well in captivity does that count? <g>

I immediately know that everyone is of lower class than I am. Not anyone else has the title “Dangerosa, Empress of the Universe.”

I can tell people are poorly bred when they refuse to address me as “your majesty.”

I know I’m well-bred because I always refer to Dangerosa as “your majesty”. Then I grovel.

I always wipe my hands after I take a dump.
