[quote=Anonymous]Read the Paul Fussell book. It feels a little dated at this point, but it definitely made things click into place for me when I was in college and trying to figure it all out. Being upper class involves a certain invisibility-- participating in a culture that most people don't even realize exists, but you can quickly learn how to spot it. I'm not upper class myself, and never will be, it doesn't work that way, but I definitely appreciate certain things about it, like respect for tradition, a little more reserve and discretion, and really nice clothes that aren't flashy. And of course their weird baby names are totally different from middle- and low-class weird baby names. They trend more to family surnames with quirky nicknames and British influence, rather than made-up and kreativvely spelled names like, say, Kaydenne.[/quote]
