Challenge: Before Wednesday's class ...
1. What does W.A.S.P. mean? Find out. Post your response. 2. Scope out St. Paul's School and impress Wednesday's guest, Mr. Mahoney, with your ill knowledge of all things SPS.
Hola. W.A.S.P. stands for a White Anglo-Saxon Prodestant. It doesn't necessarily refer only to 'upper class' male, but a white Christian male of either working or upper class...The 'white' isn't really needed as part of the definition because if you're Anglo-Saxon, aren't you already white? Hmm... It is also a metal band consisting of Blackie Lawless, Doug Blair, Mike Duda and Mike Dupke...just for the record.
White Anglo Saxon Protestant
ReplyDeleteWhite Anglo-Saxon Protestant. It's a really broad term that doesn't really have 1 set-in-stone meaning. It's generally a White Upper Class male.
