Ah right cheers. I may be inclined to give the benefit of the doubt on the "jumped" up bit which although pretty much a synonym for conceited and arrogant in Britland, may not be in common use o'er the pond and may or may not appear in the dictionary.
:D

I assure you that it does indeed exist in every dictionary whether it be in English or British.

And it IS an expression used in American English (from the link I provided earlier
stuck-up
- definition
adjective informal
showing disapproval a stuck-up person acts as though they are too important to speak to you
This is the American English definition of stuck-up. View British English definition of stuck-up.

RA is being a passive aggressive by pretending that every other post made by a UK poster is British slang.

My mistake

Woops, but easily remedied

Merriam Websters

The mean­ings that are the most directly prac­ti­cal are the ones that are sac­ri­ficed: the fla­vor, aroma and touch are abol­ished to the profit of the delu­sions that per­ma­nently lead sight and hear­ing astray.

Your point? :chuckle:
The mean­ings that are the most directly prac­ti­cal are the ones that are sac­ri­ficed: the fla­vor, aroma and touch are abol­ished to the profit of the delu­sions that per­ma­nently lead sight and hear­ing astray.

Day four or five or something of my captivity, somebody decided to bring up Marxism in an underhanded attempt at baiting me with the usual bullshit about Stalin, whether this signifies a genuine interest in the subject and departure from rigidly held misunderstandings about Marxism, or whether this was just an attempt to veil those rigidly held opinions is yet to be determined.

"Class is an illusion."

Is this just a blatant subversion of common knowledge and Marxist theory or a genuinely held belief I am reminded of the wise words somebody once said to me:
The mean­ings that are the most directly prac­ti­cal are the ones that are sac­ri­ficed: the fla­vor, aroma and touch are abol­ished to the profit of the delu­sions that per­ma­nently lead sight and hear­ing astray.
