High caste Muslim transvestite?

The Cultural Currency of a 'Good' Sense of Humour: British Comedy and New Forms of Distinction.

A basically flawed document.

It says that Frank Skinner is universally liked.

The study quotes one interviewee, who said: "All I would need to hear is 'I went to see Roy Chubby Brown last week, it was magic' and I would want to glass them."

Anyone who uses 'glass' as a verb, or would consider such an action, is clearly of the lower social order. A poor attempt at disguising their background.

"It is the absence of sophistication in all of it."

So glassing a commoner is sophisticated is it? I thought they were still horse whipping the plebs.

Horse-whipping's too good for such persons!

I'd have thought your biggest problem was not having three breasts!

The attitudes some people apparently have towards breast feeding are really very weird.

The headlines on Sky Teletext: the last one is my favourite :)
