All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part X

[robkelk]

Borat is an entirely fictional persona/character though, Tupac just had facets to his personality. I'm not saying to not use tropes for a real person, I'm just saying that characterising either side as fake or disingenuous is false, you can be both and both be legitimate.

Er... It was my intention to use "Oh, Me Social Class's Dialect Is Slippin'" for accidental slips made by people who are doing their best to fit in to a new social class, and "Putting on Airs" for purposeful attempts to make people think one is in a different social class than one actually is. Did I fail to make the distinction?
