... wit, a form of humour you dont have to work for, and thus an appropriate mode for upper-class layabouts. - Terry Eagleton Been thinking about this for some time. I just read this on Twitter. Dont know the context. Perhaps some knowledgeable friend can fill in the gaps. Perhaps it is unfair to comment on such isolated-from-context quotes. But is wit so class? Dont the poor or the middle-class have wit? Even if Terry Eagleton is reducing the meaning of wit to just verbal wit, and pointing out that the upper-class sophisticates have verbal resources not available to the unsophisticated poor, he is on shaky ground. We all know how devastatingly witty the so-called unsophisticated can be in their own kind of language.
