Re: "uppity," I always thought this was partly racial and not just class-oriented. Perhaps uppidity is a cleansed version of uppity.
This post is an example of patronizing.

Start out a prole? I wasn't born a lawyer if that is what you mean. I was a lawyer by the time I met hubby. They are his friends that we entertain but it isn't caviar and $500 a bottle wine -- more like steaks and beer/margaritas/etc. -- so we certainly aren't trying to be pretentious.
