Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In American media, especially cartoons, characters who are supposed to be intelligent often speak Received Pronunciation, even if they aren't explicitly supposed to be from England. This association of RP with smart people probably comes from the days where this was the accent associated with those who were wealthy enough to receive an education at all, and the more general idea that characters who speak RP are authority figures. Upper Class Twit would be a subversion or inversion of this trope, especially if the twit is English, as in the trope namer. |
