“Thinks Olive Garden is fancy” is clearly a pejorative class signal

In my experience it says more about if you've left your little town for a relatively significant period of time than class. I know train kids with more exposure to the world than that, and as I said above district attorneys and national news contributors who have no interest in anything outside the commercial zone of their suburb.

> train kids

Is this a slur for my kind?

It's a term for teenagers and young adults that left the small town they were from by literally jumping on to a moving cargo train.

I suspect what may be tripping people up in this kind of discussion is that financial class and social class can be distinct from each other.

Spot on observation.

Classical guitar teacher here. I'd never have been able to buy the house I'm writing this from on my salary if not for also prostituting myself in the it sector :-)

I've found that social class in non urban environments is orthogonal to taste.

District attorneys don't necessarily get paid well, but they are pretty high up in local social class.
