Charlie Black: Well, I don't think "preppy" is a very useful term. I mean, it might be descriptive for someone who is still in school or college; but, it's ridiculous to refer to a man in his 70s, like Averell Harriman, as a "preppy". And none of the other terms people use - WASP, P.L.U., et cetera - are of much use either. And that's why I prefer the term "U.H.B."
Nick Smith: What?
Charlie Black: U.H.B. It's an acronym for Urban Haute Bourgeoisie.
Cynthia McLean: Is our language so impoverished that we have to use acronyms or French phrases to make ourselves understood?
Charlie Black: Yes.
