Cliché idea that is overstated for particular people or things.
When you think of upper class, you imagine someone who is well dressed, well spoken, and encompassed with proper manners. You would think of sophistication and elegance. Henry Higgins is not the stereotype for the upper class- he uses curse words often and knows how to act properly, but still chooses to not. He is careless about his manners and even treats the upper and lower class with no respect. When Eliza is beginning to move into Higgins’s home, Mrs. Pearce had to warn Henry to be careful with his actions because he has to teach Eliza how to have good manners and it would be contradictory to teach good manners and have the teacher not follow it. His manners are so horrible that his mother is embarrassed for her friends to meet him and attend church with him.
