Well, okay. I didn't know what constituted 'phony' European words. You don't hear bourgeiosie much here (see, I can't even spell it. How dangerous could that be?) :)

Not so dangerous to us, but the word "bourgeoisie" helped generations of socialists believe that there is a burgher class who are all identifiable and who all behave in a way that conforms to this class, and that this behavior is often evil. Every aspect of this thinking is nonsense -- yet millions of people have been murdered by the Left because they were "bourgeois" and condemned as exploiters.
