Sinister: Pastie

[Walter]

grrrrrr..........
If Stuart thinks La Pastie means apathy, who cares? Anyway, Matthew is right : 
the word does not exist in french!!! (once again)
And the meaning of "bourgeoisie" (this is the right spelling, Matthew!) depends 
on the period you're talking about : la bourgeoisie during the french revolution 
is different from the bourgeoisie in Marx's Capital, which is different from our 
bourgeoisie. In my opinion, B&S don't refer to the XIXth century, do they??? 
Just have a look at the Harrap's dictionnary (simpler to read than Marx...) :
" bourgeoisie n.f. coll. 2. the middle class(es)"
That's all
Walter
