Your RBR Word of the Day: Parvenu

by Todd on May 2, 2008 8:29 AM CDT in Miscellany

parvenu \PAR-vuh-noo; -nyoo\, noun:
1. One that has recently or suddenly risen to a higher social or economic class but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class; an upstart.

adjective:
1. Being a parvenu; also, like or having the characteristics of a parvenu.

After the shocking and sudden loss to marriage of the McPhee and the scandal ridden Girl Fight tournament to choose her successor, the parvenu Snow continues to rankle many of the blog regulars in her role as Official Sweetheart.

Ok...

I concede that she's hot in this one.

Me too...

That should definitely be "her look."

Roll Tide!

Yars!

She has beautiful eyes. (still haven't seen her new "hit" movie, tho)

Apart from that strange dress a few weeks ago, I'm very down with the 2008 RBR Sweetheart. (although I wouldn't have minded one bit if ScarJo or Ms. Biel had won :)

Keep it comin' to-the-T, to-the-O, to-the-DoubleD!
