The Boston Brahmins are members of Boston's traditional upper class. They are often associated with Harvard University; Anglicanism; and traditional Anglo-American customs and clothing. Descendants of the earliest English colonists are typically considered to be the most representative of the Boston Brahmins. They are considered White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs).

@rebrafsim There’s a β€œcat lady” character in an Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot story who points this out.

@rebrafsim
And it's a secret message:

Toil
Toiler
Toilest = "the one who works the most"

@rebrafsim

TS Eliot (from beyond the grave):
Hahahahaha! Someone finally got it.
