Is it just moi? Or are people becoming more pretentious?

Merde! Sacre bleu!

It is quite obvious to the more refined among us that the lesser people are putting on more airs all the time.

Good thing I have a quirt that I freely use to disabuse them of that notion.

In my highly educated and sublimely well expressed opinion, some of us are. If I catch the bastards at it, I'll fuckin' nut 'em in the nadgers.

I'd bet you a double-hazelnut-mocha-soy-latte- that they are...
So, I'm going the other way.

Cest vous.

It's comforting to know that both Rob and Shanglan are willing to use violence, however distasteful, to prevent the lower classes from aspiring above their station.

Just today, I heard someone refer to King Kong as a film. It's an action flick, for chrissake. The Jerk was a film.

Certainly.

And I'll elaborate further as soon as I look up the word pretentious.



Stella - found this. Thought of you.

Well of course the legions of the great unwashed will always attempt to project an air of sophistication and, indeed, of erudition. However, we of the tony cognoscenti will always immediately realize the inevitable stamp of white trash behind the Potemkin's Palaces, as it were. However, one must be aware, there are a lot of clever phoneys out there. [There will be a test at the end of this message.]

Tony Cognoscenti is a great character name.

Tony Cognoscenti is a great character name.

"The shine of Tony Cognoscenti's hair product matched the sheen of his black silk suit. 'He's really a sharp dresser!', whispered Brandi Fellatio to her twin sister Randi."

[shereads]

Pssst, Shereads... I still you.

And I feel your pain.

And I love good beer.

That is the tiniest thong I've ever seen. Tell me it's not from the Prada Spring Preview Collection!

Until recently, I never saw the adjective "tony" used in any context except restaurant reviews. I must be reading classier stuff now, huh.

Edited to add: "Impressario" is also a restaurant-review word. Perhaps Tony Cognoscenti is an impressario.

But of course! As well as a raconteur and a suave [sway-vee] and debonaire [de-boin-er] cat. However, subtle [sub-tle] clues will reveal that Tony Cognoscenti is. alas, a fraud.

I hate it when people appoint themselves the arbiter of who is the elite- except when I do it, of course. That's because I KNOW how smart I am.

It also can be applied to small but discriminating retail outlets.
As in "Tony Boutique"

Which conjures up a whole new image.....

The real trick is knowing how smart you're not.

Erm, you mean the shadow in my arse cleavage?

Exactly. Only a brilliant designer could create a fashion item that so closely resembles nudity.

I'm impressed. The rumor is that Prada's 'Arse Shadow' thong will retail for more than $50 when it hits the stores.

Target stores are said to be coming out with a cheap rip-off of the Arse Shadow: "I Can't Believe It's Not My Arse Cleavage!®" by Isaac Mizrahi.

Soon to be ripped off by Martha Stewart for here "everyday" line- once sold in Kmart- where is it now?
I'm too pretentious to know, actually...
(actually, i can't afford to shop kmart either right now!)
*hums; "I can't give you anything but love baby" *

Whereas "Showgirls" was cinema.

I thought it was comedy?
