verb density: 13% approx;

       True, though, the idea presupposes familiarity with the Family Feud/Fortunes game show model and an understanding of what may or may not constitute a class signifier. Also, I couldn't think of Amerocentric equivalents for "proles" or "aristos".

       actually "suburbanites" is the odd man out in this corner of Leftpondia, being used more of a locale descriptive. I spend a bit of time moving furniture/clothing between peoples of markedly different means, all within the same 'burb.

       Blacks, hispanics and whites are the dominant class signifiers with each and all others either desending or ascending into one of these categories by ascribing the particular ways of speech and dress.
