Being less familiar wif "common man" objects, speech-expressions, entertainment, etc. due to one's having a more "high-toned, high society" lifestyle.
Long-term Boston-Pops-concert announcer William Pierce evidently had such major sophisticated-life naiveté dat he actually didn't know how to properly say da last word in da title of da third "Star Wars" movie --- he incorrectly pronounced it "Jaydee" several times when announcing dat da famous Massachusetts-Bay-area orchestra was gonna perform one or more selections from it, then later made a seldom-heard "correction of a previous statement" aside-announcement to da radio-audience: "I was just now informed that I had incorrectly identified the movie title --- it's supposed to be pronounced, 'JED-EYE'." So I'm guessing dat da "venerable Billy P." had spent da majority of his days ensconced in da elite-and-upper-class world of classical music and elegant concerts, and so HE'D had little time for --- or interest in --- da "everyday man's" science-fiction crap!
