# Lace-curtain

---

### **PRONUNCIATION:**

(LAYS-kuhr-tuhn)

### **MEANING:**

*adjective*: Aspiring to or pretentiously displaying middle-class respectability.

### **ETYMOLOGY:**

From the lace curtains once fashionable in middle-class homes. Earliest documented use: 1824.

### **NOTES:**

The expression arose in 19th-century America, often among Irish immigrants themselves, to draw a class line between the lace-curtain Irish -- those striving for middle-class refinement -- and the shanty Irish, who were poorer and lived in simple one-room cabins.

Today, the term survives as a light jab at anyone decorating their life a bit too finely while hoping no one peeks behind the curtain.

The # of mergers and acquisitions over 10 billion in value just broke a record with 14 recorded in this years third quarter.

I had to look up what a quarter actually meant because I'm retarded, but not so retarded that I don't know that I am retarded if that makes any sense:

Am I right in thinking that this is the [Cantillion Effect](https://blog.theya.us/the-cantillon-effect/) in action?

Am I missing something?

Word on the street, and don't quote me on this, and to be clear I am paraphrasing, is that Bill Gates or Monsanto, or one of those fucking dystopian whoever's, has bio-engineered the Lonestar Tick so that it can introduce in humans a sort of allergic reaction to eating meat.

Again, word on the street, paraphrasing, don't quote me.

Unless I"m fucking losing it man, I'm pretty sure that he died a while back.
