A long overdue whid of the day

I recently found this one and I must share with you guys:

Parvenus n. One that has recently or suddenly risen to an unaccustomed position of wealth or power and has not yet gained the prestige, disnity, or manner associated with it.

It's such a snooty word too: Look at that clueless parvenus. He's far below our champagne-sipping circles

And yet, so useful! It's a more pretentious verious of well, pretentious. That in itself makes it worthy of our WOTWWFLI(Word of the whenever we feel like it) award
