Does not make sense.
Old money people have class, do not boast and do not put people down. They usually know a lot about the arts (including classical music) and treat people with respect.

isn't that exactly what you find in the New Yorker? (plus usually they had excellent educations, and like reading well edited prose)

Yeah, all I can gather is that the PP you are responding to doesn't know what the New Yorker is.

Which amuses me, because, of all the things mentioned in this thread, a New Yorker subscription actually seems the most spot on

Given that many people claim that you can’t be old money unless that money predates the establishment of the US, I’m going with IHOP. It’s international, and references what sounds like the medieval manor house built by the Earl of Pancake.

Yes. Really simmering anywhere is new money, the kind of thing done by those who created auto correct. Summering on the New England coast or in certain portions of other NE states is old money.

Most Europeans don't "do" engagement rings. Wedding bands are worn on the left during engagement and then switched to the right hand after marriage.



--old Europe, in the "von Somewhere" sense.

Incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engagement_ring
