The class that everyone is failing and no one really knows why. Many students tend to never follow instructions from their teacher and "goof around" on random websites. In most cases, popular websites such as facebook, youtube, and many gaming sites are blocked, so the majority of the time the class is boring as hell. However, there are some instances in which a classmate may or may not find a fun website that isn't blocked. To most of the class's disappointment, the website is usually blocked the following day. Popular activities done to pass time during this class include: changing the background of the computer, attempting to find pornographic related material used for a joking matter, and screwing up the computer settings beyond all recognition (See: fubar)
Dude 1: Hey dude I gotta tell you something.
Dude 2: Alright, just tell me in computer class.

A class of people in a society that exercise authority and control far in excess of their contributions to society.
Almost universally, this power is used acquire wealth that is greatly disproportionate to their own work. For example, today in the United States, the average CEO makes 400 times what the average entry level worker makes, though the work they contribute is minor at best. For comparison, this ratio was only 75-to-1 back in 1970, and the ratio of 1970's America is similar in both Japan and Canada today. There is no evidence that American CEOs are more productive or work any harder, hence the source of their greater incomes is derived from other means.
The means of the power by the ruling class is variable, but common techniques include aristocracy and nepotism, manipulation of religion, creating and then preying upon fear, direct violence, control of education, domination of the political system, domination of the judicial system, or domination of the legislative system.
Because the concentration of power is difficult to achieve, the ruling class almost always has a high degree of coordination and solidarity with one-another, insofar as their goals align in excluding the working class from power.
Today in America, the Presidential Debates are hosted by a private company, the Commission on Presidential Debates. It is a major tool used by the ruling class to assure that no matter which major party candidate you vote for, the ruling class remains in control.
If a person dares to question the aristocratic power of the ruling class, they are immediately called a socialist, a communist, un-American, or other terms.
The ruling class depends entirely on the working class to produce everything they own and consume.

Class of 2024 (currently 13 and 14 year old 8th graders) is actually pretty chill compared to 2023 and 2025. They make fun of tik tok and vsco girls but some make tik toks anyways because memes.

Also known as the petty bourgeoisie by Marxist Definitions. Usually working professionals and often take residence in suburbia or greenbelt areas. Generally speaking, their children attend university and do well within the education system, often following in their parents footsteps to maintain some sort of professional job.
However, one must ask oneself how to define class. Perhaps financially or culturally? It has been asserted that you do not need to be restricted to relative material wealth in order to be middle-class. Rather, you can still have middle-class values. If this is true, then one can assume that there is still working-class values thus the statement that there ceased to be a working-class in the 1970's is false. Furthermore, that even if they have two cars and take several holidays a year they are still distinctly working-class. Often it has been asserted that money does not buy you class or status. Certain Neo-Marxists now assert that the working-class are transforming into a "Service Class" for the 'infomation workers'. For example, service class's may work in Supermarkets on checkouts, providing a service for people who are employed in the IT industry.
A stereotypical middle-class family might consist of two parents, married, living in detached house with two cars and a well maintained garden. Their children, both at university. They enjoy dinner parties and have many cook books and dabble in Red Wine probably far to often. This is merely a stereotype though, you'd probably be suprised how many have fairly bizarre patterns of behavior such as Swining or Heroin addiction.
See the films Blue Velvet or American Beauty for accounts of the American middle-class. Alternatively George Orwell wrote exstensively on the class system in Britain in novels such as "Down and Out in London and Paris" and "Road to Wigan Peer".
"Darling, can you please pass me the salt?"
"We're having a dinner party tonight, don't bloody forget the Red Wine again Paul!"
"George, can we jock the gimp suits tonight and get cracking with the cocaine whilst the kids are away?"

A cringe-worthy expression that companies use to lie to themselves in a derisible attempt to "re-brand" their public image.
Online Customer1: Wow, the AMEX website calls the company "world class" now.
Online Customer2: Losers.
