.. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem calling it "peasant class"? It's the kind of slang I'd use and I always fly economy.
That's our word, she can't use it
Exactly haha. A poor person can say it to joke about themselves and their circumstances, a rich person doing so is just in poor taste..
Imho it's less about calling out the airplane than preemptively shitting on her neighbour. It's the whole "I'm with the plebes so my neighbour will be a pita" that makes her sounds so disdainful.
Also, I call it cattle class when I fly because that's how it makes me feel.
Personally, I call it cattle class.
Yeah, but would you post a picture of yourself online saying that, with a fake smile and undertone of smug superiority?
I joke about calling it steerage. Just keep walking back until you hear the Irish fiddles.
