- Hosting parties every night all summer in your house.
- Flying internationally on a first-class ticket.
- Being offhand about things that are very expensive for the plebeians. Honestly, Susan, it’s only one banana. How much could it be, 10 dollars? 20 dollars?
- Having a butler’s pantry or two kitchens.
- Going to Ivy Leagues without financial aid or scholarships.
- Living on an estate granted to your family by some Queen Mary.
- Dressing your 5-year-old in a Canadian goose jacket.
- Do you know that famous building/plaza/national park? Yeah, it’s named after your grandfather.
- Their family owns a professional Sports Team, National Newspaper or a National Television Channel.
- When you don’t understand why people save leftover food.
- When you say, “we’re not rich, we’re just comfortable.”
- Starting a new hobby and just buying the whole equipment right away.
- And having a shed or an attic full of the leftovers from previous hobbies that got boring after a month.
- Ordering off menus without any consideration of the price printed on the other side of the page.
- Bespoke clothing. No obvious labels or flashy jewellery, just handmade/tailored clothes that are obviously good quality and fit really well.
- Everything is white in their home and they have “art”.
- Calling your yard “the grounds”. And your dogs, “the hounds.” And your doorbell, “the sounds.” And your wife’s boobies, “the mounds”.
- Defining yourself as “well off” and “upper middle class” rather than saying you’re rich and upper class.
This is a very generalised answer, of course, not everything is to be taken at face value.
