One of my daughters get's a kick out of calling me 'classy'. I think it's a compliment, but I wasn't quiet sure what she meant by it so it made me wonder what was the opposite (slang word) for classy. I gather it must be 'ghetto' or 'keepin it real'. You know how folks go all bad=they 'keeping it real/ghetto'. Now, for the most part, I do try to maintain a certain amount of composure, especially since it is in my nature to fly off the handle, but since I am human, there have been times when I didn't and I let the worse part of me take over. The key element of 'being classy' is to NOT allow myself to be put in certain situations. If I know there is a chance I might not be able to keep it together, I'm not going go. Unfortunately, I have missed out on some potential good times, but not sure if the gamble would have been worth it. I know at times it may have seemed that I didn't care or was unsympathetic to those around, but for the most part I was trying to 'keep it classy'. I pride myself on being the 'bigger person' even when it makes me look like the bad guy. I have too much at stake to risk my dignity and freedom especially over some bull shiii... *wait, did that sound 'classy'? *shrugs*
I saw this re-tweet and I thought it was a good way to explain it.
