the overprivileged class

(n.) -- Those people in any society who are at a huge economic, cultural or moral advantage based on social constructs, ascribed status and/or nationality.

We always hear about the underprivileged class -- those people who have little money and have to struggle all their lives -- but we seldom hear about the overprivileged class: those who have too much money and never have to struggle at all.

cyberboarding

(n.) - A form of online torture that consists of immobilizing a subject with endless emails of a trivial nature, thus triggering the mammalian gagging reflex causing the captive to experience sensations of nausea.

If I get one more email from my cousin in Boston telling me for the umpteenth time about what he did last weekend, I am going to puke. His constant stream of email messages is nothing but cyberboarding pure and simple, and I plan to put a stop to it as soon as possible.
