[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans think "high" means fancy. It's not, it just refers to the time of day, you idiots.[/quote] Oh the high street is not a fancy street? It's just a late afternoon street. I think I'm getting it![/quote] Correct; high street fashion means mass marketed stuff you could get at a run of the mill mall. “The lady on the high horse was appalled to discover that high tea on high street was just a bologna sandwich on Wonder bread.”[/quote] DP. Yes. "High street" is not an indication of exclusivity. [quote][b]Comparative usage[/b] [u]The term "High Street" is used to describe stores found on a typical high street to differentiate them from more specialised, exclusive and expensive outlets[/u] (often independent stores) – for example, "High Street banks" (instead of the less-common private or investment banks) or "High Street shops" (instead of boutiques). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Street[/quote] [/quote]
