[quote=Anonymous]I'm always amused when my Southern friends shake their heads and say things like, "Oh, she's from xxx neighborhood in Charleston. But she didn't go to xxxx school. I don't KNOW her. . . ." In other words, the person is not in the same "class" as them - and they are not interested in ever knowing her. The other code word is "lovely," with lots of emphasis. So-and-so's mother is LOVELY - meaning she's filthy rich. Or xxx's house is LOVELY - meaning it's huge, traditional, and decorated with a lot of chintz. Pastels of all the kids hang on the walls. Lots of pale yellow. [/quote]
