"Uppity"

[jaF0]

I like it. It's a good word that accurately describes the attitudes of far too many people today who think they're better than everybody else.

Unfortunately, due to how it was used in the past, you can't really use it in general company today.

Pity.

All my favorite people are uppity. As in they overreact/act crazy and hilarious over silly little things, not as in arrogant and/or snobby.

Also, uppity women unite!

It's synonymous with being an asshole. Revel in it.

I associate it Yuppies and Millenials and twenty-whatevers.

Beemer drivers and LV carriers and Loubie wearers fit into it too.

I associate it with the oppressed demanding to be treated like humans. Do that, you're an uppity [insert racial/gender epithet here]. Then they ignore or shoot you.

Unfortunately I agree with you. Such a great word now soiled by association with hateful word pairings.

Mel Brooks got away with it.
