Seddity (or ''saddity'' or ''siditty'') – is defined as bourgeois, snobbish or pretentious. As to the disparity in the spelling, this is attributed to certain lexical items being predominantly of oral context as opposed to spelling conventions in AAVE African American Vernacular English.〔Green ''African American English: a linguistic introduction'', 16〕 Also, as part of AAVE, seddity/saddity/siditty is deemed as a ''people term''〔Rickford http://www.phbern.ch/fileadmin/CAMPUS/06_IS1/Englisch/Dokumente/Spoken_Soul.doc〕 like words such as cuz and posse. ==Similar terms== * bougie, boojee, boochie, buzhie * hoity-toity * highfalutin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seddity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
