Are all lawyers middle class wankers?

No, of course not!

Not all lawyers are middle class...

Court Dude's Definition of Class in Today's Society:


Working-Class: anyone who must work to support themsleves;

Middle-Class: anyone who did work, and may still work, but doesn't have to anymore;

Upper-Class:  anyone who has never worked, never had to work, never had any friends who worked and is genuinely horrified by the very prospect of work (strangely, the same definition as the dole-bludger!).

So, despite most lawyers believing they are middle class wankers, 90% of them are actually working class wankers and only 10% are middle class wankers. None, in case you didn't already know, are upper class wankers!

So why do they all think they're middle class? It's because they read books, apparently.

Glad we cleared that up...

  1. Uh, that's a bit of a skewed definition of lower/middle/upper class. Pretty sure that traditionally lower class is working in an unskilled job, generally for minimun or close to minimum wage. Middle class is the skilled workers who earn a middle to high wage, and upper class are those who are born into money or otherwise earn an exorbitant amount...

  2. Dear Phlogiston, let me guess - you are a "skilled worker who earns a middle to high wage"?

  3. er no, I am an incredibly poor uni student who can't afford food half the time, and who currently works in an unskilled job? Plus, I think thats a bit of an argument ad hominem, even if I was a middle or upper class worker, it wouldn't influence the validity of my statement.

  4. I didn't say it would influence the validity of your statement, Phlogiston. I was just wondering. So you are in fact a person who is not yet but who wants to become a skilled worker who earns a middle to high wage...fair enough.

    My definition is obviously "skewed" from the traditional definition. My whole life is pretty "skewed", come to think of it...but I genuinely think my definition makes more sense, and is more honest, and is also more able to accurately reflect modern society. The definition you are talking about is the one formulated for the industrial age. We are now post-industrial, therefore we need new definitions. Times change, and so do traditions...and the skewed people are always at the forefront of change. Viva la Skewed!
