Nouveau pauvres, New poor, No money, AMA

I can't believe the fake rich lady thread is just going on and on and this one lost steam. Here we are, REAL live actual new poors (or just poors) discussing the various meanings of "cutting" people, and what would DCUMs rather fight about? Whether some trolly poster can smell her laundry detergent or whatever.

They can't resist the smell of money (even if it's fake) which is something that thread has that we are sadly lacking. Ah, I miss it myself. That's why Monopoly remains one of the most successful games of all time. Trouble is a distant second....

I agree with PP, I guess. This thread was rolling when it incorporated old money mannerisms and expressions. But people don't want to be reminded of what it's like to be poor.

I think you're all boring old farts. You sound like my mother Emily. God! that woman! I wouldn't even have to see her if she hadn't fronted me the money for Chilton for DD. Now it's getting dressed for drinks before dinner. Sigh. I would so much rather be hanging with my hipster boyfriend who made a diner out of an old hardware store.

Let us guess: the boyfriend used your trust fund to do this? You're on your way to nouveau pauvre!

Believe me, we don't want to see you either. All that chit chat -- Hugo thinks this, Hugo says that, oh Hugo won't touch that, Hugo's diner is about to make a profit, blah blah blah. It would be a lot easier to just cut you loose with your share and be done with it. But with that dippy boyfriend of yours always lurking about, someone has to make sure the money is safe. If you should have learned anything by now, it's that you never touch the principle. I thought I had drilled that into you. If you can't even remember THAT after all these years -- well, like I said, someone has to protect the assets. Unfortunately that falls on me, since your father -- well, we won't speak about that right now.

Please tell Hugo when he comes tomorrow to DRESS for drinks -- and that doesn't mean GET dressed for drinks. It means dress for drinks.

What? Luke's invited for drinks? Last time I brought him you stared at him like he'd wandered in from the yard. Oh, Rory's gonna be thrilled. But what's the catch? There's gotta be a catch? I don't trust you. Not one bit.

Who's Luke? It's a new guy every week with you. Your grandfather is rolling over in his grave.

Dad's not dead! I know he had that heart scare but he's guest lecturing at Yale. Rory's signed up for his class.

(That's right, I asked who Luke was, DP. Or is it VC?)

I'm interested in the PP who grew up in Appalachia, but had rich grandparents & cousins w/yachts and trust funds! PP, would you be willing to share more of your story? How did you wind up in Appalachia? Did your rich grandparents eventually leave you money, if I may ask? That's a fascinating story right there.
