"CLASS has been defined as the "self-knowledge, self-discipline and surefootedness that comes from having proved you can meet life".
"Lack of class seems far easier to nail down and has nothing to so with social standing or monetary worth, but plenty to do with basic human interaction.
"Lack of class is a woman failing to acknowledge that you've held a door open for her; someone masticating (the posh description for chewing loudly) next to you in the cinema; sneezing without attempting to stem the spray or -- most irritatingly -- saying "hang on, I've got another call" (I'll just wait here until you're ready then, even though you rang me).
"Of course, lack of class is hard to detect by those who are already afflicted with it.”
