Any person of
humble social origins who aspires to be a member of a higher and / or more affluent social
circle. In order to qualify as a 'social climber' this person must first and foremost be an utter liar and one who will stop at nothing to shamelessly promote themselves above their social standing and ABILITY. For example, they went to a Polytechnic which suddenly translates into Eton followed by Durham University. They bullshit to the
Boss about how hard working they are at the expense of their truly industrious, focused subordinates. In other words they are capricious and will stop at nothing to fuck you over and get promoted. They
think they've 'made it' to the higher echelons when they've acquired a
low spec
BMW or
Audi Q5 (insert
name and model of other expensive motor vehicle) even though they had to take out a high interest dodgy loan to 'buy' this 'bauble'. They gossip and slag everyone off; they
call people 'tramps' and such like when they look like shit themselves. The social climber will typically
try to associate with completely higher ranking people, thus living beyond their means and totally ignore those of a lesser rank than themselves (particularly at social functions). It's all smoke and mirrors, networking and consolidation loans. They are so self indulgent that they fail to realise that their act is paper thin and their betters
laugh at how ridiculous they are.
Person A: I've secured myself an invite to the Colonel's Dining Out.
Person B: Really, I didn't know about that.
Person A: (Smug) Of course you didn't, you're on duty call out anyway and your wife has to baby sit for us.
Person B: What, again? Fuck off you social climbing fakers.
Man: But I can't even play
golf, what the deuce? I don't even own
golf clubs!!!
Ambitious Wife: Buy some on the credit card. The big
boss plays
golf and you need to network!!!
Man: Yes your Highness.
