"That's not the definition used by the person you're replying to, so I'm not sure what your point is."
There is only one classical definition of upper class, the other is the very generic 'economic' version.
The commenter is clearly not referring to 'economic' upper classes as he referred to 'behaviours' 'social standing' 'expectations' etc..
He indicated his family once had a noble title but sold it - this is definitely the classical version of 'upper class'.
You want a 'pop culture' reference for actual 'upper class' (though it's 100 years ago) -> Downton Abbey.
The commenter is female and never once claimed to be upper class. You might try rereading the comment more carefully.
