Happy 27th Birthday, Paul Fussell's "Class".
Paul Fussell's 1983 non-fiction book Class is still funny, nasty and true. Upper classes, in Fussell's world, drink Scotch on the rocks, and say “Grandfather died”. Middles: “Martoonis” or "Teenies" and “Grandma passed away”. Proles: beer in a can, and “Uncle was taken to Jesus.”
