Draft additions October 2001

chattering classes n. (occasionally also in singular chattering class) originally British (freq. derogatory) members of the educated metropolitan middle class, esp. those in academic, artistic, or media circles, considered as a social group freely given to the articulate, self-assured expression of (esp. liberal) opinions about society, culture, and current events.Quot. 1871 is apparently an isolated example of this use before the 1980s; other early occurrences of the phrase do not represent a fixed collocation or meaning.
