Poncey job titles

I mentioned this on another thread but there must be loads that have comic piss-taking potential.

The one I hate is Barista which makes them sound like something to do with the law.

THEY'RE ONLY BLOODY WAITERS!

Any more you can think of?

At the pub, gatherings etc - 'I'm a comedy writer.'

Make up artist...exotic dancer (aka stripper/slut)...celebrity (aka c-list has been/wannabe)... ultra(aka pissed brawler)...the list is endless.

That's not nice Chappers, I bet all those expert luxury coffee makers are frothing at the mouth reading that.

He's just stirring.

:D

I played golf recently at very posh and exclusive golf club.

The man who carried your clubs out to your buggy (then held his hand out for a tip) was a called the concierge. As far as I could see, his only duties were humping bags and sticking his mit out.

Garbologists = garbage men
Initial Communicators - Walmart Greeters
Sparklechiners - Dish Washers
Dinnerinterjects - Call Centre Workers

Let's rename all the shitty jobs! I just did 4 of them; I hope they catch on.

Teacher=Tax sponge.

I hate barista too - it's an utterly idiotic usage as it's essentially just the Italian word for barman.

The idea I suppose it that the coffee is often served Italian style although the f**k serving you is much more likely to be from Slovenia or Australia and the coffee from Africa or South America.

Subcontractors
All they do is make long sandwiches.

Are the people who work in that sandwich shop referred to as sub-human's

Isn't that a Gigolo - or a male prostitute.

The Queen - That's the ponceyist job title I know
