10 Signs You’re a WASP

Does this also apply to murder wasps?

^^^ Well done, sir!

This cannot be an exhaustive list.

It says nothing, NOTHING about a stinger.

You know, any kind of real WASP wouldn’t be caught dead on DL!

It's a lame list, which is what I would expect from T&C.

T&C is TinC.

I'm from the D.A.R. The Daughters of Albertina Rausch.

None - in fact I didnt even understand some of the questions. This is truly an alien world to me. Hopefully YMF may be able to lend us some insight here

Seems like a list written by someone named Hannah Feldshuh from New Jersey.

I didn't know WASPs drove Ramblers.

#11 You're really top-drawer!

Wasps have always been racist villains.

Extremely outdated

I didn't know all WASPS had to be rich.

[quote]Extremely outdated

No kidding. Did you see the car?

R14 they dont. Strictly all "WASP" means is White Anglo Saxon Protestant. So if you are all of those you qualify, even if you are a lot lizard or living in a dumpster or an Alabama trailer park

I think this quiz is about some obscure subset of WASP

None! We have some preppy names in my family, but that’s from the overlap between WASP and redneck. This list is only for northerners, anyway.

That wasn't a WASP thing -It was a preppy thing.

I don't get any of the references, and I'm not rich. I guess I'm a failed WASP.

Do Dutch settler families in New York count?

That's a 1972 Rambler Hornet. Funny because the emblem on the side indicates that it's the Gucci edition.

Another insect thread? Ladies, let's try to be creative and pertinent!

MY forebears weren't consigned to that damp, crowded, stinking Mayflower. They came on their very own ship, to Virginia, and wouldn't have been caught dead associating with sleezy Puritans.

*Sleezy = 17th Century spelling.

Elizabeth Taylor was a WASP who was also Jewish, by marriage of course.

11. You're descended from European peasantry.

Good eye R21! Thats a fairly obscure model too

You have dinner (supper) when it's still light out.

You have a surname as your first name.

Or your first name is Rags (prob short for Ragsdale)

Your middle name is a family surname.

I drink Bloodies.

I eat babby.

[quote]You have a great forehand, a record erg time, and were the captain of your boarding school lacrosse team.

What is a "record erg time"?

Rowing.

Tasteless food.

I'm a Honeybee

12. You're an alcoholic, drinking only top shelf liquor.

R4, so true

I love that this is in Town & Country and the last checklist item is that you subscribe to Town & Country. They may as well just rebrand as “T&C by Ivanka Trump: The magazine for rich white assholes.”

I wish we had an actual rich WASP to tell us if any of this is accurate. Sadly, I don’t think there are any on DL.

OP the opposite is true.

I’d like proof of that! Ha!

I grew up around a lot of WASCs! Similar to WASPs but with a lot of guilt!

11. You can sting multiple times without dying.

No such thing, r44.

I'm digging the Hornet

Well to those who always diss New Jersey

This list is a mishmash pulled together by a stressed intern on a deadline, although the Triscuit one is absolutely dead on. These days Mayflower descendants (me!) are a dime a dozen, so that's no particular distinction. Slim Arons did capture some amazing WASPs in their midcentury fabulousness, but his real beat was the glitzier jet-set crowd who are not usually particularly WASPy. Gap year? Maybe, I guess. Nicknames used to be a serious indicator (I remember a distinguished, Yale-educated judge who wanted you to call him "Butsy") but much less so for folks born after, say, 1935. There is a WASP crowd who are gorgeous and jock-y, but that's no particular indicator. The list of expensive towns is pretty generic rich people rather than WASP -- the more concentrated WASP presence is in less famous towns, like Rumson, NJ; New Canaan, CT; Hamilton, MA; Northeast Harbor, ME; Middleburg, VA; and many others much more obscure.

This thread is boring — I'm off

There used to be a time the DL concentrated certain type of people, who were in the know. Not anymore. It's quite obvious, no one here has a clue

[R50] I think you have a lot of misinformation. Watching a documentary on Netflix doesn’t make you an expert.

What do you mean R46?

I sometimes consider a box of Triscuts dinner - because I’m lazy.
