Things that you consider déclassé Part 2

What's Value Village???

Buying used clothing or used anything is not declasse at all - you can get some great stuff. Just like all new stuff isn't necessarily good - a lot of crap.

99% of new clothing is sweatshop garbage anyway.

Boxed wine.

Wire hangers.

Driving a truck or huge SUV when you don’t need to tow/ tote a lot of things, or people .

Vanity books that are not read.

Terry cloth robes. Especially short ones.

Chewing gum.

Piled on scent.

Pets as accessories.

Selfie sticks.

Wooden saying signs / home decor

What r3 said. It's all made in the same jip joint factories.

Using anal beads over and over again without bleaching them every time.

The way a person handles utensil at the dinner table. Always a dead giveaway.

Using social media, referring to social media or being featured in other people’s social media.

A million threads on Golden Girl's is very déclassé.

[quote]Buying used clothing or used anything is not declasse at all

Defending cheap mentality is in fact declasse.

[quote]Terry cloth robes. Especially short ones.

QUEEN! Terry cloth is practice because most people are still someone wet after they come out of the shower. What do you wear, silk?

Smoking Newports.

Contributing to a list of déclassé items for the second time.

Talking about how YOUR rights as a business owner are more important than paying a living wage is very déclassé.

Op.

R11 I wear kimonos.

Wonder Bread.

People who put out salad forks for a fancy dinner when there is to be no salad.

Bumper stickers of any kind.

Drinking tea or coffee from paper or styrofoam in public, especially when walking on the street. In fact, drinking anything else while walking on the street, unless heat and exercise are involved.

Pointing at people, unless it's E. Howard Hunt on the Grassy Knoll.

Breast (Chest) feeding in public when there are alternatives. Aggressive wokedness is not wokedness.

Jeans at a funeral that does not involve a cremation on the beach.

Serving commercial bread. Serving bakery bread is close, but not everyone has a cook or can bake.

Vanity plates on a private vehicle.

WOMEN IN TIGHTS. MEN IN TIGHTS. IN PUBLIC. Size doesn't matter. I do not need to know if every woman on the street waxes wholly or in a landing strip, or if her labia minora are "peekers." For men, squashed cock and balls do not appeal.

Cooks who don't wash their hands before (and while) preparing meals.

People who don't wash their hands before eating.

People who want everything new: houses, furniture, flatware, art, books, cars, even their pets (e.g., never adopted as a mature dog or cat but bought/adopted as puppies/kittens.)

It's always a very bad indicator of a person that they want absolutely everything new and "eww!" at the idea of anything "used."

More than one or two discreet tattoos.

Sheets that aren't 100% cotton.

Oh, silly, silly, silly R9.

A SINGLE thread on "The Golden Girls" is very declasse.

Wtf is “Value Village”? Christ, the places you people come up with to shop.

Wardrobe consists of mostly fast fashion, stuff from Ross, etc. Clothing is considered disposable. Has tons of clothes yet always looks basic.

R20 is one of the 10 million homeless. LOL. She's been homeless for about 35 years. That's why she hates buying new stuff. Most homeless die around age 46, so she's done. Put a fork in it.

Strange, R26. Are you poor white trash, a lottery winner, or a Rich Russian Lady?

Arabian horses.

Arabian whores. Or whores in Arabia, like Lindsay Lohan.

You have an enclosed garage, but you use it for overflow household storage and can't park your cars in the garage.

Sanka.

Bus and truck non-Equity fourth national tours.

Don’t forget new spouses, R20.

"Blended families." Yes, I come from a blended family, i.e., grew up with half-siblings. IMO, it just never really works. There's always resentment. Get married, have kids, get divorced, OK. But do not have further kids with other spouses or GFs / BFs. Do not bring "uncles" and "aunts" into the home where your children live.

You can date, but do your fucking at the other person's house.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but that's my opinion.

R34 Luckily no one gives a flying turd what you think. Jesus. You take the cake for mentally deranged idiots on here.

R34 Is mentally deranged, inbred for 7 generations Jabba. When not ranting about her fat has-been from the 80s who could never sing, dance, act, or.....anything decently, Jabba has these ridiculous rants about blended families. You come from 7 generations of brothers fucking sisters. You aren't one to complain about "blended" families.

Smoking (if you still smoke or vape you are dumb or trash)

If you drink Dunkin’ Donuts you are trash

Long fake nails

People who wear pajamas or slippers on airplanes

Driving a Chevy or dodge

Wearing camo or trucker hats.

If you shop at kohl’s you know you are trash.

R37 is, like, the enemy of Ben Affleck!

Those neck pillows people wear on planes.

If you are Ben affleck or have slept with him you are trash. Thanks r38 forgot that on my list

R16 - me too darling.

R18 - what the heck are you talking about with "tights"? Men wear the sporty type at the gym and it's fine and loads of women wear them with skirts. You can't tell who waxes how.

Yeah R37, every other European, even educated ones with good jobs and who exercise smoke. It's a nasty habit but it certainly doesn't make everyone "trash".

[quote]Drinking tea or coffee from paper or styrofoam in public, especially when walking on the street.

Mother always told me that a proper lady only sips delicately from the finest bone china when walking on the street, and then only in a hat and gloves.

People who shame or put others down due to lack of money / material possessions. I’ve got news for you.... Your wealth doesn’t mean anything to me.

Polo, Flying private planes, having a staff when you aren’t disabled, French bulldogs, swiss boarding schools, fake boobs, highlights, mid life crisis affairs

Wearing flip flops. The sound they make is truly the sound of selfishness.

[quote]Serving commercial bread. Serving bakery bread is close, but not everyone has a cook or can bake.

Smell you, duchess.

R44 - Senatrice get back to Mar-a-Lago. Your kind isn't wanted on DL.

People doing grocery shopping dressed in full rabbit-costume pajamas.

People with more than 3 kids.

Shaved Pubic Hair

Cheapie paper plates.

Use of "off" brand laundry detergents such as "Sun"

Towel Stolen from motels

ashtrays unless they are collectible

dollar store items

' ' '

Not excusing yourself after you let a fart rip at a fancy dinner party.

Using plastic eating utensils at home.

[quote]Drinking tea or coffee from paper or styrofoam in public, especially when walking on the street.

Jesus Christ some of you queens are so fucking old.

"Do you rent or own?"

Shaving body hair, especially pubes.

Backwards baseball caps.

Big-assed trucks.

Discolored teeth.

Shopping at WALMART

Saying HEY instead of HI when greeting someone.

A nice pair of leather flip flops are not déclassé, they're a staple for people of all social classes.

Purchases and behavior intended to show your class status. The truly upper class are never that vulgar.

Wearing sweats and PF Flyers to an aerobics class.

eating fast food more than once a month

OP your mom is déclassé!

Referencing Golden Girl's episodes in 2021 is about as low class as you can get. Jesus please take these fucking dinos quick!

Any fragrance by Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Kevin Sessums DREADFUL (botched) arm tattoos of weird literary garbage... (Still doesn’t hide his track marks tho)

Neck tattoos.

Anyone, anyplace or anything with the Trump name.

R71 What a fucking genius. No one has ever brought that name up. Psycho.

Shopping at Walmart

People who carry around Big Gulps or other overly large soda cups from gas stations, fast food joints, etc.

People who always have dog hair all over their clothes (the clothes are usually some version of a sweatsuit). Buy a lint roller, for crying out loud.

People who's main topic of conversation is meal prepping/keto/going to the gym, etc. Those who actually do all of that religiously don't feel the need to talk about it; they just do it. It's the ones who do it once a week who blab on and on about it.

People who order pizza from large chains like Pizza Hut or Domino’s.

People who speak too loudly in public.

People who argue or curse in public.

Saying, “I didn’t know where she was at.”

Expensive American colleges for rich dummies. Mykonos. City dwellers with pure bred pets.

[quote]"Blended families."

Tell me about it.

^ Exactly.

[quote]People who's

Bad grammar is déclassé.

Correcting other people in public.

Shitting in public

Dipping into principal. There, I said it.

Misunderstanding the definition of déclassé.

[quote]Not excusing yourself after you let a fart rip at a fancy dinner party.

What should you say/do if you also shit your pants R55?

Wearing a mask below your nose.

[quote]Vanity books that are not read.

How does this differ from an aspirational library? I have a ton of books on my shelf that I'd like to read before I die ...

Showing off your weatlh

OK I looked up déclassé. It means having fallen in status, having previously had status I guess. Interesting distinction.

[quote]People who's main topic of conversation is meal prepping/keto/going to the gym, etc.

This, times a thousand for gay men. Your workout/fitness/dietary regimen is of no interest to me, particularly if we've just met.

And if it's the most interesting thing about you, let's remain strangers, shall we?

Repeatedly typing "People who's" in a discussion forum thread.

Rudeness to others

Looking down one's nose at others

Judgmental attitudes toward others

Gossiping

Thinking that all who supported that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile are racists, sexists, irresponsible, or imbeciles.

A lack of interest in the world outside their purview (I guess you can call it parochialism)

This is related to the above...thinking you are better than others.

Honey there are some people who I KNOW I'm better than. Thanks.

I was with you, Charlie/r92, until item #5 on your list. Did [italic]you[/italic] vote for him? If so, once or twice?

I agree with R94.

[quote]Thinking that all who supported that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile are racists, sexists, irresponsible, or imbeciles.

But ya, are Blanche. Ya are.

I'm rolling my eyes at R18 "chest feeding." Jesus Christ.

Bragging on social media about how expensive your lifestyle is and how much you paid for certain luxury items.

Very tacky.

Canada Goose

Being from the New World.

[quote] People who carry around Big Gulps or other overly large soda cups from gas stations, fast food joints, etc.

R74, this one made me laugh and I liked your list.

I was talking about the Big Gulps with my dad, who was in finance. He asked me how many ounces, how much it costed. His conclusion: smart financial decision. I never looked at Big Gulps the same way again.

Women who go out shopping wearing their flannel pajama pants and slippers

Obnoxiously loud modified mufflers

Blasting some shitty mumble rap music with your windows down forcing everyone to listen to it in a store parking lot. Same goes for country

Putting your cell phone on speaker mod, holding it away from your face and yapping away while out shopping

Showing up to a get together and bringing pasta salad made with of those Kraft pasta salad kits

^ mode

R84 Not that hard to figure out, ya moron.

dé·clas·sé (dā′klä-sā′) adj. 1. Low or lowered in class, rank, or social position. 2. Characteristic of the lower classes; of low social status:

Boxed wine on a sailboat is not déclassé. Boxed while backpacking is not déclassé. Boxed wine in the kitchen by yourself at 9 in the morning IS déclassé. Buying Triscuits at Walmart is not déclassé. Buying clothes at Walmart IS déclassé. It’s all about context.

I actually like boxed wines. There are some good brands if you give them a try. Stays fresh longer if you just want a glass or two once in a while.

Cardi B potato chips

Lady Gaga Oreos

duct tape, cigarettes, soda, dairy, tattoos, using a phone that came out before 2018 in 2021, wired earbuds, sugary coffee drinks, sweatpants, acrylic nails, anklets, music festivals, bread, depop, walmart, sunglasses, air fresheners

[quote]Women who go out shopping wearing their flannel pajama pants and slippers

This! People wearing pajamas/slippers in public is one of the trashiest things ever.

[quote] Buying clothes at Walmart IS déclassé.

As has been mentioned, clothes today are all made in the same shithole sweatshops. It doesn't matter where you buy your clothes, they all came out of the same place.

Buying a fragrance on the basis of who the celebrity is. Response to fragrance is the one thing in life that is almost truly visceral. Your body's olfactory response to a fragrance isn't going to be upgraded because a celebrity put his/her name on it.

Sunglasses? WTF?

NYC

Buying brand name products because they're brand name.

Supporting and/or voting for Trump.

Talking about Trump after he is done and finished is not déclassé, it is fucking psychotic. Move along, kunt.

R94 and R95, no, I did not (nor would I ever) vote for that racist, sexist, irresponsible imbecile. But I also refuse to believe that all who did are racists or sexists.

^

It's fun to make and read these lists, but some people do take them too seriously. All cultures and classes have their own manners/customs of acceptable behavior. Having more money doesn't mean you have better manners or taste. If someone has cloth napkins, I recognize them as someone of a similar class background, but the important point is are you thoughtful in your interactions with others? Graciousness is not allocated or limited by class status.

Treating Frappuccinos and caramel macchiatos, etc., as "beverages" instead of meal replacements.

Micro bladed eyebrows

Russians

Obsession with porn or sex work (nobody cares about these mental cases, stop trying to act like they have a personality beyond taking a dick)

Obsession with food, working out, body obsession. Just wear a t-shirt that says I’m stupid and shallow. It saves time.

[quote]As has been mentioned, clothes today are all made in the same shithole sweatshops. It doesn't matter where you buy your clothes, they all came out of the same place.

Not true at a certain level, but it depends on how much it is worth to you. I can buy a tee-shirt made in Spain or Portugal for €15 - €50; a polo shirt for twice that; a pair of hand-made dress shoes for €60 - 200 (the later custom-fitted.) The design and construction quality is excellent, the materials top quality; clothes that will last not for a few wearings or maybe one season but for years. Clothes from Italy, the U.K.,, and other places the same (if at differing prices.) It's very much possible to buy quality clothes that don't come from the same clusters of sweatshops, but for buyers accustomed to a bag of tee-shirts for 9.99, or 3 polo shirts for 30, or a pair of leather-ish shoes for 26, they will grumble about sweatshops even as they pay twice and thrice and more for poorly made clothes if inferior materials at prices do low they don't have to think about buying them.

Masculine can be attractive but

MACHO is LOW CLASS -examples Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger

R122 - macho is always a result of a lack of education.

Speaking of bad wardrobes, Drew Barrymore and her endless selection of pussy blouses.

R123- At least in British period dramas- the Upper class men were the LEAST masculine and the lower class men were often MACHO.

R125 - well they don't call them "rough trade" for nothing.

Personalization of odd things: pickup trucks, car bumpers, a sad little office pod in a sea of office pods, a special mug, a mobile case. Adults who follow too closely the example of school girls making everything personal, with a name, initials, political bent, religious affiliation, sports team, or feelings about family, or "Baby on Board/Parent of Honor Roll Student" sorts of self-congratulations in sparkly letters or flags or shitty graphics.

It's better to be the person that you want to be than to be advertise your half-assed aspirations.

Being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

Designer clothes with huge logos on them.

R127. Fraus love their monograms!! Nothing says trash like a monogram on the rear window of a car or SUV.

Sharon Osbourne is the definition of déclassé. She's always been a repulsive witch.

[quote] Driving a Chevy or dodge, Wearing camo or trucker hats. (R37) duct tape, cigarettes, soda, dairy, using a phone that came out before 2018 in 2021, wired earbuds, sugary coffee drinks, sweatpants, bread, walmart, sunglasses, air fresheners (R107) Shaving body hair, especially pubes. (R59) People who order pizza from large chains like Pizza Hut or Domino’s. (R75)

Yup, I'm declasse. But y'all knew that

R61 instead of [italic] Saying HEY instead of HI when greeting someone.[/italic] is [italic]Yo motherfucker or Yo bro[/italic] better then?

I do agree on smoking though, hate that shit. And name branded clothes and stuff with huge logos too, never liked that, unless it my Metallica and Iron Maiden tees etc

"Sunglasses"? How the fuck do you expect us to see clearly on sunny days?

Flip Flops

Getting a prolapsed anus from being too cheap to use a proper amount of lube is very déclassé. Especially after a 50 load weekend.

Well, you would know Dawson...

Are leather flip flops silent? That's the only thing that would make them more acceptable to me than the rubber ones. I hate any foot noise, though, including a lot of the freakishly loud foot outfits a lot of women wear.

Axe Body Spray

Celine Dion

Hanging car air fresheners

Farmhouse decor

Having more than three children

Anything associated with QVC

R138 Celine Dion is not déclassé! Stupid motherfucker.

White socks.

R138 - my sister buys some very delicate silver pieces on QVC but they are only on the site not on TV.

141 I guess she’s never heard of Tiffany’s, poor girl

Drinking anything out of plastic bottles makes you pure scum. I haven't drank anything out of plastic for about 25 years. It is basically toxic. Loading you up w chemicals and turning you into a basic bitch.

Having casual sex during covid is way déclassé .

Tan Mom

When your go to stores for shopping are Walmart and dollar stores.

Applying for unemployment

Cash bars at weddings.

R61, I say "hey" because I loved the way my college bf (judge's son/captain of the football team) from Virginia said it. It's not declasse at all. Hush your grits, gurl.

Anything done by moi.

Exactly. Men say hey or yo. Girls say hi, coquettishly.

Going to bath houses

Bologna, or baloney, is very déclassé. I last ate it in 2nd grade & decided, ok, I’m over this shit, never again.

Showing off your money

In the U.S., following the programming of major broadcast TV networks.

Ordering steak or any red meat well done. Not a race thing so much as a purely economic thing -

Women leaving the house with their hair piled up in a messy Pebbles Flintstone-style bun, inevitably paired with cameltoe- and cellulite-exposing leggings.

Just here to defend secondhand clothing.

[quote] pets (e.g., never adopted as a mature dog or cat but bought/adopted as puppies/kittens.)

The person who made this comment hasn’t obviously never owned or trained many dogs.

If you want an obedient and safe animal, particularly a dog, it’s better to own one from young and train it while still little. Dogs, no matter their pedigree or personality, should be well-trained to be completely trustworthy.

It’s very altruistic and a fine thing to care for a rescue dog, and Inwouldnt discourage those who want to do it (unless they have children or other animals at home), but frankly there is always a risk of one turning on you, someone else, or another dog. You don’t know every detail of its background, then you can’t predict its actions or triggers. Just facts.

Then there’s dogs that need to do a job or perform a function, I.e. sheepdogs, hunting dogs, seeing/hearing dogs. They can’t be rescue.

R34 in the house (wel, dilapidated impoverished farm) I grew up on, I lived with my actual aunts & uncle as well as my parents and grandmother. Am I trash?

R34 is total trash. No one gives any fucks what that cunt thinks.

Open relationships

Shopping at dollar stores is definitely the prerogative of total trash. Mostly repulsive, uneducated white Karens on welfare who live in trailer parks. And buying food from dollar stores! Nothing could be trashier except eating food from garbage cans.

True love

I have to defend Dollar Tree. I wouldn't go for years, then finally did go with husband. It's wild. They have all kinds of things that are more expensive other places. I am not a coffee snob and I don't know how to make real coffee, but is instant bad for you? I've been using the dollar store instant coffee. We were buying the knock off frappachinos for my son, but then they stopped selling the ones in bottles and now only have cans. He says they're not as good.

I don't really want to give away this secret, but they sell overstock DVDs there, weird old ones. We buy them and then resell them on Ebay. They're a dollar!!!

Dollar Tree is crazy and amazing, all in one.

In Fairfiled County, the cars outside the Dollar Trees are all Lexus, BMW etc. Their main clients are wealthier people.

R166 that’s the same with cheaper supermarkets, outlet stores and ‘pound shops’ here in Britain. The stinginess of the Haves may never be underestimated.

It’s actually the middle-income/middle-class people who overpay or happily pay markup/R.R.P without looking for deals.

Especially if they have money or "wealth", if you shop at a dollar store you're fucking trash.

A shiny nickel says R139 is Quebecois. They do NOT fuck around with people not paying proper obeisance to Queen Celine.

And Christ, at what point does "hurr durr well done steak is bad" become, itself, the signifier of a Basic (usually male, white, 20s) Bitch? You got some prominently displayed single malts in your apartment, too, R156? Like yes, well done steak is not very good but I don't know how that particular opinion has become the 'I'm A Sophisticated Man Of The World' marker. It was basic - and almost universal - in 2010 ffs.

[quote]Especially if they have money or "wealth", if you shop at a dollar store you're fucking trash.

Please. Wealthier people want cheap hairbrushes and packages of pens too.

R170 So they can spend $7,000 on sheets!

Worrying about what other people consider déclassé.

Peppering English speech and text with gratuitous words in French.

Latin, Greek and German are more acceptable.

When seeking the answer to this question, OP, simply look into the mirror and the answer will present itself.

White crew socks

If it makes me “trash” to buy my bleach and bandaids at the dollar store, I guess I don’t care.

Those who're always talking about/photographing /posting food, meals, coffee, beer irritate me. I guess I find it vulgar. Boring, too.

I also find full sleeve or neck/ hand tattoos on urban dwellers strikingly tacky lately. they are so commonly seen that a 20-40 something white person with no expensively loud tats seems like the rebel.

Drinking coffee

[quote]Those who're always talking about/photographing /posting food, meals, coffee, beer irritate me. I guess I find it vulgar. Boring, too.

Agreed, R177. Some people talk so much about food that I begin to see the wisdom in Victorian manners where among the topics never discussed at dinner was dinner itself. Talking about food while eating it was considered vulgar.

I don't mind people who post recipes - of things they actually make. Or people who post the occasional photo of a special meal or a meal in a special place, but don't carry on like it's your profession unless it actually is your real job, in which case fine. I will happily pass on the hour long explanation of personal coffee making technique and the lifelong hunt for the bean source of beans; likewise beer, wine, etc. I'm glad other people enjoy them as much as they do, but some people enjoy a good shit or a good wank and I don't care to spend hours talking about their passion with them.

The wannabe women "foodies" who can work "with a nice glass of wine" into any sentence bug the bejesus out of me because they always say it with a little smirk of wicked delight. You're a 55 year old woman pulling in a six-figure income and your husband makes way fucking more: who the fuck is stopping you from having a glass of wine? Have a whole fucking bottle if you want? As for its niceness, spend yourself broke with your nice wine if you want, what do I care?

R178 my absolute raging cunt of a younger cousin is now a freelance food ‘journalist’ (blogger/Twitwit, but he refuses to call it that). Funny thing is, he used to be a raging teenaged anorexic (as well as a cunt). Guess this is his way of coping, or proving to the world that he’s functional, or something.

Anyway, I refuse to follow his social media because all it consists of is bad food-related puns, smarmy remarks about restaurants or pro-chefs, dumb ‘how to’ spoof videos he makes of himself cooking, and links to his chatty banal website submissions or clickbait.

The only upside to his lifestyle that I can see is that he sometimes gets paid to eat out at certain places or to travel to a niche restaurant. Fair play, that’s a nice perk. Would get old after a while, though. Plus he’s from a rich family, so he could have done that quietly on his own dime if he wanted.

Paper plates.

Huge front-yard flags of any type.

Front-yard "landscaping" that involves wooden buckets, car tires, or rubber borders.

"Maine Hunting Lodge" interior design with black bears, moose, large plaids, wood paneling, and those hideous braided area rugs.

Hunting, in particular of big game, aka endangered species.

R163, But how would you, as not a patron of Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and their ilk, have any idea as to who shops there? Hmmmm?

Likewise, r153---unless it's mortadella!

Writing "I haven't drank" [See: r143].

R63, Bwahaha! Oh, my sides!

Yes, nothing "intended to show class status" about gigantic mansions in tony enclaves; pictorials in "AD" or "dupont Registry" with every piece of fabric a "designer" brand unknown to the general public; yachts; daughters who are "equestrians"; private air travel; etc.

You're a dope.

Being part of a Throuple and announcing it on social media

[quote]I don't mind people who post recipes - of things they actually make. Or people who post the occasional photo of a special meal or a meal in a special place, but don't carry on like it's your profession unless it actually is your real job, in which case fine.

And please do not post photos of any food that is brown unless you are a professional food photographer.

"Look m'lday! That man over there, the one without a red baseball cap. He is not tattooed like the other peasants! He removes his pasta from the pot with tongs, will not eat off paper plates, refuses to vacation with his family at Myrtle Beach, and and would sooner die than wear flip flops in public!"

"Well spotted! Have the guards bring him to our carriage and transport him back to the palace! He must belong to one of the better families and was likely stolen as a child and forced to spend his tender years amongst the déclassé peasants of Darkest Flyoverstan! But as mother always says, good breeding always shines though. Have the guards bring him back to the palace and be sure to remember to place a pea under his mattress tonight..."

[quote]using a phone that came out before 2018 in 2021

Actually, archaism always confers higher class than the latest gadget.

Exactly R189. I am shamelessly and happily typing this from a secondhand iPhone SE with a cracked screen that I bought off a mare years ago, and which I will not be replacing until it gives up the ghost.

I also have a secondhand laptop, that isn’t high-end. To buy and replace new tech all the time is enormously environmentally and socially-destructive, worse than cars.

Dirty fingernails, hair color du hour, long Porn nails, breast implants, capped teeth, extensions, wearing cheap ass sandles to work,

Agreed R185. If I never have to listen to another obviously middle class poseur fawning over the supposed lack of class status signaling among the upper classes it'll be too fucking soon.

All human beings status signal. Perhaps a few individuals do not, but no class as a general category is free of it. Different classes have different signals (that's the point) but they ALL have them.

R192 Good points. It's always funny when you see people of different classes together romantically. One time I was getting my oil changed and in the waiting roomthere was a middle aged seemingly well to do Chinese guy and he was with a 20s white prostitute who looked like Gollum from LOTR (because she was just skin over bone). Made me laugh so hard. He was fawning over her like she was gold when here she probably had every STI known to man! That is what a real life Pretty Woman would be like. LOL.

R193 is alone and lonely. Bitter old bitch.

R194 is talking to itself, whateves cunt.

Voting for Trump, but I’m sure that’s already been said.

R196 No, cunt. No one has ever mentioned that name on DL before.

R197 time to take your meds, doll.

Sex. "Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we were put on earth to rise above!"

Driving an expensive luxury car and living in a trashy neighborhood.

Working

Being visibly pregnant in public

Breastfeeding

Doing your own shopping

Blue jeans

Serving condiments in their original packaging

R201 is Sparkle. What a fucking cunt.

R201- doing your own shopping? You should really come to my part of LA. The new money trash in Calabasas always brags about "my personal shopper" while surgeons and other educated people go to Whole Foods, Ralph's, Wal-Mart, Cosco and, yes, even Dollar Tree in low key clothes and cars and don't say a word. Declasse is trying to "look rich". A very Kardashian or LA Persian look. My late partner was a renowned OBGYN and came from a good family with a 400 year old family tree and I NEVER saw him worry about brands, flashy clothes or cars, and he had no problem going (when his time and, sadly, his health allowed) to any shop. He taught me to find good grape leaves at Armenian markets, good saffron at Persian ones, and he liked the sounds and activity. He would say "this is where so much of life happens J...the trick is to see beyond your notions and be in the moment."

Pickle pizza. Seriously, this has been a thing for a while now if you haven't heard of it yet. A few pizza shops near me make it. It's generally just a standard white pizza with mozzarella (olive oil & garlic for the sauce) with pickles on it, but some use ranch dressing as the sauce instead.

Nothing screams "we're both stoned and my girlfriend is pregnant" better.

NYU and Oberlin

Harvard.

[quote]Drinking no-name beer.

What is no-name beer? Didn't they stop making generic beer in the 90s?

I miss the taste of beer. But I can't have it. My dad bought me non-alcoholic once and it just made me want the real thing. And just a drop of alcohol is my kryptonite.

Here's what I am going to do. I'm going to live my life in fear that someone who wrote this list won't be my friend or will give me a disconcerting look in real life. Or worse, write mean words.

Then I'm going to go through the list and follow each and every thing until I feel insane and realize hey, wait a minute. This is my fucking life! Why the fuck do I care?

Then I will follow Joan Crawford's school of manners but it won't matter because no one lives like that anymore.

Not getting vaccinated.

Yelling "Communist!" at Mitt Romney (actually recently happened).

Love my tight fat roll clothes.

Screwing the help. Unless it’s the driver.

Dreads on white people are the tackiest thing around. Only complete and total trash would do something so ridiculous.

Not only does my boyfriend only use margarine, he uses the empty containers of them to store leftovers.

Trash loves trash LOL.

Wearing 2 piece bathing suits that show every lump, bump, and roll

[QUOTE] Dreads on white people are the tackiest thing around. Only complete and total trash would do something so ridiculous

it’s also Cultural Appropriation and LITERALLY kills POC

Fuck your politics R216. Dreads on whites are a sign of having no class whatsoever.

Worked for me!

Bo Derek 100% has the face of a man like Cindy Crawford. Why these manly girls are considered hot is just fucked up.

Speaking of margarine, I recently tried to find a brick of it. You know those 1 pound bricks of margarine, wrapped in some kind of paper, that were everywhere in the grocery stores in the 80s? I wanted to bake a batch of cookies with it to see if I could have myself a little Proustian madeleine moment (but trashy, obvs. because I am trash) but goddamn they are NOWHERE to be found. Even Google was no help. All current margarine appears to be trying to sell itself as some kind of transfat free, olive oily health product. WTF.

Does the transfat goodness no longer exist? fucksake.

I don’t know if i’ve ever seen margarine in a one pound brick, usually it’s in little tubs or whatnot. I see butter sold by the pound though. Why would you bake with margarine though, it’s not going to be as delicious as if you used butter.

Having a favorite diva.

Smoking cigarettes (Any brand)

R221 Because she's trash. She admitted it. Agreed with R223. Smokers are at the top of my list of traits I hate in people. There's no description for how trashy smokers are. When Robert Palmer died at the tender age of 54, he was smoking 6 packs a day. 120 cigs a day. Total trash.

I know lots of "classy" people who smoke.

R221 - yes, because I am trash and also because I want to see if I can recreate a childhood flavour (cookies baked with margarine). It was sold in 1 lb bricks and was the cheapest of the cheap, wrapped in paper (like butter is now wrapped in foil). Haven't seen it for years, only that stuff in tubs now. fucksake.

Had a conversation the other day with a friend who 100% denies the role of advertising and government campaigning in people's lives (we were discussing vegetarianism and veganism and why people go, or don't go, that way). When asked for an example of a successful campaign that had really changed people's behaviour I thought of the anti-smoking messages in the 80s and 90s, aimed at kids. Those kids are now grown up and a lot of us consider smoking a viscerally disgusting and low-class habit, which is a sea change in comparison to its former total acceptability. I even remember seeing those anti-smoking ads on TV and thinking how lame they were. But hey what do you know smoking rates absolutely plunged and the idea of kissing a smoker now makes a lot of people retch.

R224 6 packs a day? Were they American Spirits? Was the dude getting any sleep?

R228 I don't know. The article said he smoked 6 packs a day and that's why he had a heart attack at 54. A friend pointed out to me that smoking was big for the last 250 years. The only good thing about smoking was that it killed a lot of people young, like Robert Palmer. Now people live to be old and drain the system to extinction.

R224 - not trashy in Europe. In fact, it's quite customary for educated people to smoke skins with their wine and coffee. And I am talking about professors, doctors and many intellectuals. When I tell them it's considered trashy in the US, they laugh at how "weird" we are. There is zero stigma about a cigarette with espresso or beer or a glass of wine in Europe. Pre-pandemic nearly everyone out with at any place ended the evening with a cigarette and a drink or coffee and these were not remotely trashy people. But somehow it works on them just like they eat bread and pasta and stay slim.

True, smoking isn't a big taboo in continental Europe. People of all socioeconomic classes partake of it.

One thing that’s exceptionally déclassé is starting threads about things that are déclassé.— the WORST.

The lesser Ivies were déclassé when I was a teen but it seems they have all been restored to impressive. I think wannabes such as NYU and USC are in fact quite déclassé now. Bribery scandal really put a dent in USC for example. Tacky place.

NYU is known as a school for upper-middle class brats who just want to party in NYC for four years on their parents' dime. It's not taken seriously as an academic institution.

Who really gives an anal wart what fucking Europeans are doing. They are all trash in their "continent" that is only a tiny spit of Asia. Fuck those assholes.

R232, from or with what do you eat? Sterling and china cannot go into the dishwasher.

[quote]Who really gives an anal wart what fucking Europeans are doing. They are all trash in their "continent" that is only a tiny spit of Asia. Fuck those assholes.

All of Europe is trash, but a lifetime spent in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas is the height of sophistication?

Elvis was definitely the "king" of the déclassé. His style of singing was popular in the 60s. Over-wrought and faux-emotional. It always blew my mind how he was the God for trailer trash and extreme low class types.

David Cassidy generated billions of dollars for the evil corporations in the 1970s but he never saw a dime of it. That is king of the low class. LOL.

Fat redneck alert at R238, whose mother is also his sister. Couple of teeth missing. Starts drinking lager around 11:00am on a good day.

[quote] I know lots of "classy" people who smoke.

No, you don't. They don't exist.

I don't want to blow anyone's fucking mind here or anything so the sensitive are advised to sit down before continuing but...

Different parts of the world and different cultures sometimes consider different things classy/not-classy.

Smoking generally isn't considered "disgusting" in Europe. It generally is in North America.

Wow. Americans are.totally obsessed with french words. "Déclassé".... Why this fascination for.the French language?

[quote] smoke...It's a nasty habit but it certainly doesn't make everyone "trash".

I beg to differ with you. People who smoke have no respect for themselves.

Doesn't mean it isn't.

I was appalled when Caroline Kennedy showed up at Graceland as a summer intern/reporter for the NY Daily News or Post when he died.

Eating one's young. Especially after Memorial Day!

R245 True, smoking may not be regarded as disgusting everywhere, but in Australia/ New Zealand it is super trashy, the only smokers left now are either on welfare or criminals and their associates. Or whores. Its probably looked down on even more here than in the USA

R243 Fuck off, Janbot.

r227 The taxes on cigarettes stopped kids and teens from smoking and getting addicted...plus banning cigs in public places indoors.

R75, Ok I'm going to go out on a limb here, but Domino's $7.99 3 topping 14" pizzas are a great deal and really not that bad. They're better than frozen pizzas that often cost more. Of course, they're pick up only, but still. Pizza Hut is total shit these days though.

Whore hair as seen on the woman on the right. Just bunching that skanky shit on top with a dirty scrunchie says you don't want to take the time to look presentable.

R256 Hah. She looks like Madonna without make-up. Franken-colored bad dye job. Mannish face. Low average good looks. No doubt a stinky pussy. Stenchy pussy most men have to put up with when banging or eating the coose.

Those white plastic lawn chairs. I have two; I ain't proud!

R227, Either your friend is stupid, or the companies and political parties are for spending hundreds of millions of dollars or more on advertising that has no effect.

R258 ours are green, and we have three. Used to be four until one broke under the weight of a person who shall go unnamed, tried fixing it with duct tape but that didnt work good

r244 there are still moneyed people who smoke.

R261 money dont always equal class

R262 Exactly. If you smoke you are inherently low class no matter how much money you have. You are fucking trash through and through.

The idea that "coming out" is still a thing in 2021 is the ultimate in low class and stupidity. Who, but the most fucked up asshole, gives any fucks for who others are sleeping with.

R261 It's too bad that with all of their money they are still dependent upon such a filthy habit.

And there are lots of vulgar-acting people with money.

So by not coming out, should I pretend to be straight?

r263 is the kind of prisspot who is best avoided.

Europeans still smoke lots, of all socioeconomic classes.

Calling McDonald's "Mickey D's."

I call it McD's, though. Maybe that's declasse.

I call it Micky D's or Maccas. And I call KFC "Kentucky Fucked Duck"

Yeah I'm declasse

Posting about a local primary from Slovenia.

Laughing your head off on a stupid laughtrack on an episode about raping poor Meathead Edith by the most gorgeous guy ever? Very low class.

Expecting the bottom to supply condoms for the top is very low class. Stealth fucking, too. If you're gonna take off the condom mid-coitus, why wear it at all?

Margarine is high-class when served in a fountain at wedding receptions.

Margarine is second worst only to drinking water or anything out of plastic bottles. Why not suck it out of a used tampon (on a heavy flow day)!. I'd never drink anything out of plastic.

Supermarket gift cards, as a wedding gift for various breeders I know from work

Oh, that comment was so classy, r275. Clearly you're just dripping with elegance.

R252, I resent that aspersion.

R277 Has drank out of nothing but plastic bottles her whole life, rendering her stupid and retarded.

Serving Hamburger Helper on a first date is about as déclassé as you can get. I met this guy about ten years ago and he immediately struck me as cheap. I came over and asked him what he was cooking and he showed me Hamburger Helper. If the hamburger was organic from Whole Foods I may have stayed but it wasn't. So, I lied and said I had to get something out of my car. LOL.

r280 is the déclassé person in his story.

[quote]Has drank

Talk about déclassé, dear r279.

Long live déclassé then, Op. You fuck off, too.

R281 R282 R283 are all Janbot. Fuck off, cunt. Like we can't recognize you.

who the fuck is Janbot, R284 cunt. Eccck. Buzzer says no.

Janbot, is you, cunt. We all block you but you always get new sock puppet accounts. You have a very distinctive psychotic way of writing. Like cockroaches you always come back.

you crat cray, R286. guessed wrong. sam account same as it ever was. same as it ever was. don’t know who stepped on your tootsies, dear, but i don’t care. so fuck right off now.

R287 Such an educated vocabulary you have, Janbot "dear". Cunt. Pretty clear you are in tertiary aids considering how brain dead your writing is. Yuck.
