Pedigreedy<\/strong>: \/-ped-i-GREE-dee-<\/em>\/ Victoria didn’t know anything about golf, but as soon as she found out that doctors, lawyers and other rich and powerful bigwigs were often found on the links, she borrowed a set of clubs and invested in a cute golf outfit. She was pedigreedy, and she was determined to begin her social climbing at the country club. Etymology:<\/em> Pedigree – a distinguished, superior, or pure ancestry (from Anglo-French, pe de gru “foot of a crane” \u00e2\u20ac\u201d for the resemblance to the branches of a genealogical chart) + Greedy – extremely eager or desirous (from Gothic, gredus “hunger”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

\nThanks remistram and Silveryaspen. I guess I was thinking that people are attracted to status both ways — both up and down. But maybe it just matter of “professional skills”. ~ James<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
