White trash

A term developed by African slaves in the early nineteenth century to describe the poor, landless whites with whom they dwelt in the South. According to historian Eugene Genovese, author of Roll Jordan Roll: The World the Slaves Made, slaves developed the term as a way of looking down at poor whites, who lived in abject economic poverty, often in worse conditions than those inhabited by the slaves themselves. Although the poor whites were not considered property like the slaves, the slaves chose to view the so-called "white trash" as inferior to themselves, and members of a social echelon lower than the one they occupied themselves. (Genovese, 20-30; 58) This information does not necessarily change the the contemporary Urban Dictionary definition of the term, but it does change the term's origins and etemology. Rather than being a term made by the middle and upper class whites to define even the poor of their race as better than all non-whites, "white trash" was a term developed by poor non-whites, Afro-American slaves to contemptuously distance themselves from poor whites, whose social station they believed was even worse than their own.
Tom (a white male) : Look at those poor white people standing in line at the unemployment office, that should be proof enough that not all white people are wealthy.

John (a black male) : Indeed. They are what my great great grandmother would call White trash. I don't agree with the term myself; I'm just telling you what she would have said.

White Collar's Tan

Light tan specifc to the white collar work person defined by a small triangular shape on the upper chest due to only wearing a dress shirt, polo or any collared shirt, and only rarely being exposed to the sun during a small walking commute to and from the office. The tan can include the area below the sleeves or the hands only (dress shirt) and is often accompanied by a large white line on a wrist due to wearing a large bulky watch to illustrate wealth and prestige. The White Collar's Tan in the male community must be accompanied by fully white legs as shorts are not office attire. The tan is usely rosy as the white collar person has no time to apply suncreen before or after work. The trianular tan below the neck is what separates the white collar's tan from a farmer's tan or any other type of tan.
"Hey man, notice how Justin's been crunching so many numbers and doing overtime this summer that he hasn't had time to take off his office shirt for a proper tan. Dude's rocking a WCT (White Collar's Tan)."

The networking cocktail event went so out of hand that Paul passed-out on his terrace and developed a pronounced white collar's tan. The next week, at a pool party, colleagues commented on his well-defined rose triangle.

"Man I hate working in the construction industry; I'm gonna try to fake a white collar's tan this weekend to try get some greedy chicks."
