How to use "Upper crust" in context?
When someone refers to the "upper crust," they are generally referring to a socio-economic group who are more affluent than the average person. This group includes lawyers, politicians, doctors, and other professionals who make significantly more than the average person. The term often conjures up images of people who are snobbish and only care about themselves. However, the upper crust is actually a diverse group that includes people of all education and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The upper crust is a relatively recent phenomena. Until the late 1800s, the majority of people who made a living in the United States were lower-class.
