We can't all be rich. Why not learn how to be a poser like the rest of us?
Here are some tips and tricks sure to make you look and sound richer even if you're broke like the rest of us.
Follow the suggestions below and look rich like the rest of us.
Language
Even if you only graduated from high school, here's how to sound like you went to Harvard. The key thing to remember about dropping big words is that not all big words are suited to everyday conversation. You want to learn those big buzz words that rich people throw around at cocktail parties . Here are some examples:
faux, guache, chicque or passe - These all can be used on your next shopping trip with your rich friends. Just remember to look them up and pronounce them correctly. (Definitions from the left: Fake, cheap, fancy, outdated)
vernacular
This is just a fancy word for vocabulary. Specifically vernacular refers the particular set of words and phrases that you grew up with in your hometown.
moratorium
Used in a sentence this word means putting a stop to something. Example: (There should be a moratorium on animal testing because it's cruel and inhumane.)
existential
This refers to a philosphical movement which questioned the meaning of life in the 19th century. (That is so existential) or (She's obviously going through some kind of existential crisis) works just fine.
Plebs
This is what rich people use to diss the poor. "What a pleb" , or "How plebian" roughly translates to: how low class or ghetto.
Clothes
Fit is crucial. You can still look rich without buying a three piece suit, but your clothes need to fit. For women, if you regularly sport a muffin top or plumber's crack because your pants are too tight, bra straps because your top doesn't have enough coverage, or outfits with circular cutouts, you will be pegged as ghetto and appropriately snubbed. Rich people wear loose, flowing, tasteful garments in the daylight and look like they've just come from lounging on their yacht. It also doesn't hurt to go business casual with a trendy blazer over jeans. If they save the spandex for the club, so should you.
For men, it's just the opposite. Gangsters and pimps wear baggy clothes because they can't afford to get them tailored. Go out grandpa style, hike up those pants. If Kanye can rock the pink sweater vest and golfing pants then so can you.
Shoes
No plastic please. Nothing says payless like sky-blue plastic wedges where your heel is hanging off the back. For men, stick with simplicity, if you spent three hundred dollars on gators with italian leather tassles, you don't look rich. And leave the sneakers for the gym.
Hair
If you've ever dyed your hair a color that doesn't occur in nature, this one's for you. Orange, blue, yellow (not blond), purple, green or pink are the colors of poverty. Try to stick with solid colors, natural highlights, and shoulder length bobs. For men, dial down the grease and stick with downy soft feathered styles.Rich people like to blend in so that they won't get mugged.
Overall, following these tips is sure to get your foot in the door of richness. Or at the very least, get you a better table at your restaurant.
我們不可能人人都成為富人。既然如此,為什么不像其他人一樣學著裝腔作勢呢?
這里有些方法和訣竅可以讓你看起來和聽起來更富有即使你和其他人一樣一文不名的。
遵循以下建議你就會看起來像其他人一樣富有。
語言
即使你只有高中畢業的學歷,這里有些建議讓你聽起來你在哈佛深造過。關鍵點是你要記住:大話之所以揭穿是因為并不是所有的大話都適合日常交談的。你要學會那些富人們在雞尾酒宴會上隨處可用的一些無意義的大話。這里有些列子。
* Faux, guache, chicque or passé---這些在你下回與你朋友逛街的時候可以使用的詞。只要記得查下這些詞的意思然后發音正確就可以了。(左邊詞的解釋:假的,便宜,新奇的,過時的)
* 花俏
這只不過是詞匯的花俏名稱。花俏的詞匯特別涉及到一些你在你成長的家鄉所用到的一些特別詞組。
* 延期償付
用在一個句子中,這個詞表示停止做某事。 比如(因為這種行為既殘忍又沒人性,所以必須停止對動物做實驗。
* 存在的
這個涉及到19世紀有關質疑生命意義的哲學運動,像在(那太存在主義了)或者(顯然她可以挺過這些存在的危機)句子中都可以使用這詞。
* 平民
這是富人用來形容窮人的詞,"太平民了",或者"多么平民啊"大概的翻譯為:多么下等的階層或者貧民窟。
衣著
合適是關鍵。只要衣服合適,即使你沒有3件套,你可以依舊看起來像富人。對女士來說,如果因為你的褲子太緊而時常炫耀你腰圍的贅肉或者露出屁股溝,又或者因上身沒有足夠的遮蔽物或者因穿露肩裝而露出你的文胸肩帶,那么你就會被示為貧民,毫無疑問地被冷落。 富人們白天穿寬松的,有線條感的且有品位的衣服,看起來他們好象剛從他們游艇的休息室出來。牛仔褲搭配時尚的便裝去談生意也無不妥。
對男士來說,恰恰相反。匪徒和皮條客穿著寬松的衣服是因為他們負擔不起兩省定做的錢。扔掉這些老式裝束,讓那些褲子飄動起來吧。 如果肯伊能讓粉紅毛背心和高爾夫褲子變的很時髦,那么你同樣做到。
鞋子
千萬別穿塑膠鞋。沒有什么比那些天藍色的讓你的腳后跟掛在鞋外的塑膠坡跟鞋看起來更廉價的了。對男士來說,要堅持簡約風格,如果你花300多美元買雙帶有意大利皮質流蘇的鱷魚鞋,你看起來根本就不像富人。把這些膠底運動鞋留到健身房去用吧。
發型
如果你染的發色看起來不自然的話,那這不適合你。橘色,藍色,黃色(不是金色的)紫色,綠色或者粉色都是貧民的顏色。對女士來說最好是弄些單一的發色,顏色看起來要自然,頭發長度在肩上下。對男士來說,不要涂太多的潤滑脂,發型要看起來柔軟蓬松。富人喜歡與大家相融合這樣就不會被人攻擊。
總之,遵循這些方法肯定可以讓你跨入富人的門檻。或者至少你在住的酒店可以得到比較好的對待。
