Eisboch does not come across as a snob, at least from what I've read in his posts. Agreed. Eisboch is no "snob" Agreed... JPS doesn't have a clue. Scotty Let me see if I have this...SnottyScotty, a fellow with a practically flatline EEG, is commenting about others? He had to look it up first. No one else that I know talks up his houses, posts pictures of his cars, acqures the dispenses with exepensive boats, organs, and talks up his guitar shoppe that caters to the coolest clients. Wikipedia: A common snobbery of the affluent is the belief that wealth is either the cause or result of superiority, or both, and a common snobbery of the physically attractive is that beauty is paramount. It is agreed, however, that the word "snob" broke into broad public usage with William Makepeace Thackeray's Book of Snobs, a collection of satirical sketches that appeared serially in the magazine Punch, February 1846 to February 1847, and were collected and published in 1848.[7] Thackeray's definition of snob then was: "He who meanly admires mean things is a Snob". The "mean things", Thackeray was implying, were the showy things of this world, like a secretaryship in the Queen's Cabinet, where Prime Ministers invariably retired as earls. If it weren't so sad, your ****y-ass outlook on life would actually be funny. Look up "troll" in your reference books. Eisboch You're right. I admit to throwing **** out there to mess with righty. I'm doing my Jiim, Herring, Frogwatch imitation. Good for the goose? |
