the completely kick-ass tall chick/bro who plays at (oh, glory) position 3 on the volleyball court. this stellar human being is responsible for delivering some freaking amazing hits, spikes, or tips onto that sorry opponent's court floor. middle hitter can also block like there's no tomorrow.
"wow, that middle hitter is the tallest chick with possibly the longest arms i've ever seen to grace this court...."

A relatively financially stable class that generally works white collar jobs.
Class is defined by 4 things: Wealth (How much land/stocks/stuff you have. The top 1% of this country owns 80% of US wealth, leaving probably 15 - 20%to the middle class.), Income (Salary/wage of generally $60,000 - 150,000 or so, possibly more per year), Education (Generally middle class people have at least some college education), and Prestige (How respectable your job is, so that is why a plumber can be paid more than a IT person, but is considered working class).
Most people think the middle class is the class they are in. They think this because they know someone who has more money than they do, and someone who has less. Really, the middle class only makes up about 30% of the US population. A MUCH larger silent working class exists. The poverty line is a false indicator of middle class, as it is unsustainable and really the definition of "emergency poverty." Another words, financially, nutritionally, health-wise, families cannot make it when consistently within 200% of the poverty line without help.
The middle class is actually also a bit of a myth created by school and the media. It is seen as the ideal when in fact, in truth, it is out of the generosity of the working class (basically being underpaid to do all the grunt work that someone has to do) that keep the gears of this country well-oiled.
Sorry to break your bubble!

Most movies out there show Middle class as ideal if they talk about school. "Middle class values" = Hard work, perseverance, education.

Someone you hang out with and are friends with only because they are really good friends with someone you want to date or plow, and when you hang out with them, they're likely to invite the hot person.
Keith: I hear your hanging out with Larengo tomorrow. I thought you hated that Farkleberry?
Henry: no, I'm only doin it so I can meet that chick, Latrice. He's my middle man.

The monkey in the middle is the person that is in the middle of two fighting sides. This person is friends with both arguing sides and wants to stay neutral but is eventually dragged into the fight, and one of the fighting sides become mad at them.
I feel bad for John, he just wants to have fun and not get involved in drama but he always becomes the monkey in the middle.
