A member of a group that is marginalized in some way and not okay to joke about. Basically you can't make jokes (or employment decisions) based on any of the following variables: race, color, religion, national origin, age (40 and over), sex, veteran status, employment status, pregnancy, citizenship, having a family, having disabilities, and last but not least; DNA content.
So pretty much everybody is protected in some way.

Person 1: Get a job you lazy fuck.
Person 2: You can't say that. Unemployed persons are a protected class.
Person 1: How else am I supposed to tell you that you are a neanderthal?
Person 2: Did you really just make a comment about my DNA status? That's also a protected class. Go look up protected classes.
Person 1: looks it up that literally means that everybody in the world is a protected class in some way.
Person 2: I know. Isn't it great? Everybody is special!

The lowest and most inferior class in the class/caste system. Comprising of the Underclass and the Working-class.
Generally thought of by Elites as stupid, inferior serfs because the lower class cannot afford the same level of education that they have received and therefore get a less-paid job and struggle to make ends meet. Also believed to spend rather than save and spend their money in the Working-mans' club.

Are you one of the 'special' children? Does your teacher keep a spare set of clothes for you in the cupboard? Do the other kids tease you? Does playing with, and occasionally eating, clay feature very prominently in your education? Then you're either in, or about to end up in, the clay class.

Electrical term, Class A/B Amplifier.
A class A/B amplifier is also called a psh/pull amp. Class A/B amplifiers have 2 amps, one to push the speaker out (+), the other to pull it in (-). In guitar amps that use tubes, this means that one tube, a driver tube inverts the signal polarity before it reaches the B side.
A class A amp pushes and pulls the speaker, and thus must do more work. Most commercial (in home) amps (stereo receivers, etc.) are class A amps. Class A/B is generally used in guitar amps over 30 watts, high powered Bass amps, and professional power amps. Class A/B generally delivers the same power at double the impedance. So if an amp gets 100w per side @ 4 ohms, then it will generally get 200w bridged mono @ 8 ohms. This is rarely 100% true in practice.
Class A/B is also called "Bridging" an amp (transistor amps generally).

"Fender Twins use 4 6L6s in a Class A/B circut to deliver 85 w RMS @ 4 ohms... In other words, they's pretty damn clean boss."
