That's self aggrandizing/braggadocio and yes, noxious. Just admit it...you weren't being "cutesy" at all, you either couldn't remember the correct term, or you didn't know it.
I stated facts. I wasn't "nasty"; unless I hit you too close to the bone.
You claim to live in N.Y.C., come from money, but consider the Forbes article to be off base for an upper middle class family of 4. That just jive.
And whilst we're on the subject of "nasty", calling a fictional family ( which IS what the Forbes thing is ), nouveau riche and worse, was nasty of you.
What people are failing to take into consideration, is that the article is about the upper middle class. It's also rather hypothetical and generalized.
Taking it personally, which you and others have done, is silly; especially for you, who are unmarried and childless. >>>>>>>>
I was being cutesy, the correct term doesn't take a rocket scientist to remember.
I highly suggest you go read Paul Fussell's long standing classic on the Class system in America. Simply titled "Class".
Oh and I'm so sorry for calling a "fictional family" nouveau riche. Do you think the fictional family will fictionally sue me for slander ?
You're a tad bit scary too.
A wee bit too angry towards a perfect stranger on the internet
