What the yahoos, degreed or not, mean by that is, "MAYBE I'll listen when I see you've learned your place and show ME the deference I deserve because I went to (blank) and have fair skin, beautiful blue eyes and my gonads outside the rest of me." Well, I have the same skin tone and gonads-placing, not to mention an Anglo-Saxon paternal line and I say, F**K you! I'LL show you FIVE degrees of deference! As I close my fist and land a straight left or right cross!
