Supposedly it means you are a cut above the rest, either because of what you've done or what you know.
That is what I perceived it to mean...but to be honest...I am not a label person, AT ALL...it has only been since I have been posting on the Zone that I became aware of *labels* such as these.
It is becoming more and more apparent to me that the *Us* and *Them* mentality has only one connotation anymore...Liberals or Conservatives...[not even 'Republicans' or 'Democrats' is used that much]....but this whole enigma of labelling *liberal or conservative* seems to manifest itself in every aspect of life....one automatically is judged by this...hell, maybe it always has been this way...~I told you I was naive.~
