The Upper Middle Class doesn't start at $60,000 household income. $60k per family is squarely middle class.
The upper middle class is better described as the professional or managerial class, and consists of mostly white collared professionals or successful small business owners. Typical professions in the upper middle class are biglaw lawyers, physicians, dentists, accountants, consultants, school principals, and engineers with managerial roles. Many have advanced degrees beyond college.
They tend to live in cities during their 20s, marry in their late 20s or early 30s, and move to wealthy suburbs with good school districts (education is highly valued) when the kids come. The political affiliations of the upper middle class vary greatly with age and region in the country.
Household incomes vary from $100k to $500k. Most upper middle class families still depend on salary and their day job to sustain their lifestyle.

In America, the poor thinks they are in the middle class and the middle class thinks they're in the upper-middle class, while the upper middle class thinks they're typical middle class Americans.

Somewhat archaic English phrase meaning unwavering determination.
Can also be used in a negative sense to describe general obstinacy or stubbornness.

Jimmy just won't give up until he is victorious. He's got a stiff upper lip.

Written as 'OWNAGE'
The ultimate form of Ownage of which can only be utilized in the most serious of circumstances.
Used to describe a scenario, most likely to be in an online gaming arena, whereby an individual has had it well and truly brought upon him.
The word OWNAGE, and its close relative Ownage are two very different terms and caution must be taken in bringing out the former unless it is unanimously believed that another individual or group of individuals have genuinely been dominated.

A slur used to describe persons, specifically North Americans, of European descent who, relative to and in spite of their middle-class income, possess a remarkable lack of cultured behavior. Behavioral characteristics of upper white trash generally include a prediliction toward blatant and unrefined self-centered materialism, a distinct lack of social responsibility, and a profoundly inward world view, most often distinguished by rashly-decided politically conservative beliefs, often based on one issue such as taxes.
Despite their healthy double incomes and a substantial inheritance, the Johnson's, a stereotypically upper white trash family, were not interested in living in a character home in a well-established neighborhood near the university, but preferred to build a McMansion with a peculariarly ostentatious two-storey grand entryway in a new suburban tract where, despite there being 3 feet between the houses, there would be plenty of space in the four-car garage to park their Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, jet skis, ski boat, and where there would be plenty of space in the game room for a 15 seater hot tub with built-in plasma tv and flashing LED lights for their Nascar parties, and where they would be closer to the local two-year community college where their kids could go rather than spend money to fund the "liberal" ivory towers of the four-year university, and finally where they'd be closer to the malls and those big fun megachurches where no gay marriages will ever take place.
