I'm amazed you're friends with people who use the words "common people" or "Great Unwashed". Seriously, that sounds like it ought to be a friendship-breaker to me. Why on earth would you be friends with such loathsome individuals?
Well, H G Wells was despised within the Fabian Society because he talked common. Trotsky hated Stalin for being a peasant. And as for New Labour...
Of course, the people in question don't actually use these forms of words. They don't need to.
And of course, they are, like their parents, State-educated and either directly State-employed, or effectively so by means of the enormous public subsidies without which the political parties and their hangers on would simply cease to exist.
