You mean like the Delhi Metro pass... and not the old DTC one using that filthy red paper?

One of my friends who is a girl categorizes all 'english' abuses as classy while the same set of those words when translated into hindi sound cheap and derogatory to her. I hope your distinction of classy and brassy/'schlocky passes' is not on the same lines. 2-3 examples of each would help me understand this thread better.

Abhimanyu ji,
Since you quote your friends example, you might as well take her word for everything else!!!
The members are invited to speak from their own experience, so I am sorry that I can't elaborate any examples. You do not have to understand or be eligible for a classy pass to post your thoughts though.

I fully agree with you and very often I have argued with people on this issue. Imagine the hindi translation of the things like "Shake your ....", " Kiss my ****" etc. Use of language to express things is certainly a major reason of sounding classy or cheap.. Even I don't understand the reason why we feel that way..

Kalkhande ji,
So, you would agree that we can make a choice whether to be classy or cheap in the way we express through language?
Regards

When I was in 9th class - a girl made a pass at me for the first time during physics tuition class.

Back then I was very self reliant boy who believed in solving all my problems with my own hands using the laws of physics.

I did not know what to say to her, but after that incident, I became conscious. In anticipation, I used to bathe and brush my teeth before I went to tuition, I also put a ton of cheap army CSD canteen cologne. I also bought some new clothes.

These changes were not lost on my mother - I think the cologne might have tipped her off. She summoned me one day before I was about to leave for tuition class looking like an underage gigolo. Her initial polite exhortation that I was such a good student and should focus on studies segued into grabbing my ear and twisting it really hard - it would put a kaantod pehalwaan to shame.

However, this did not deter me, I was still playing nain matakka with that girl in tuition class. After coming home from tuition, I used to wonder how miserable Thakur might have been in Sholay after Gabbar chopped his hands off.

I got bolder by the day and one day asked by dad for a Bullet motorcycle. That did not go down well because my mother immediately jumped in and told him her half-baked story about my bad intentions. My dad punked me by buying me a used Bajaj Priya scooter. Then I moved away and that was that.

Anju, who is this fast girl you are talking about? I want to make sure if its the same girl I met in 9th class.

....somewhere in 17th centuary Her Highness sent East India company. Great Grandfather of Modern India Lord Mclay should have been celeberating with Jack Daniel's somewhere up jumping in joy:- '' Ah Man! My brain children proved my worth. It feels ****ing great!''
 
One shoe fits all??? Thats not possible.
Still, a "classy pass" would be- an upfront but respectful display of interest that would "flatter/compliment" the object of affection.
I would say a flying kiss, or touchy/feely is not a pass but eve/adam teasing.
(Classy pass is as oxymoronic as one would like to believe it.)

It shouldn't matter what the man thinks about it, you like someone, you tell him. Anyways if the man is going to judge her from that one action of hers and and not even sensible enough to try and know more about the girl/woman before making a judgement about her good or bad character, then its his problem. Also most of us have grown up hearing that a woman doing such a thing is bad, it sticks somewhere at the back of our minds and we need to make conscious effort to think and change those defaults settings of our minds.
And for that, it becomes even more important for girls to go ahead and express their feelings. some day things have to change...

Historical background

Some history on "making a pass"

: : Although I did not find this usage in the OED (probably through oversight), I believe that "take a pass at something," or "make a pass at something," can be used to mean make an effort, give it a try.
: : This would be consonant with the use of "pass" in fencing, meaning "make a lunge or thrust." The OED gives as examples:
: : 1604 SHAKESPEARE Haml. V. ii. 126 In a dozen passes betweene your selfe and him, hee shall not exceede you three hits. a1616 SHAKESPEARE Merry W. (1623) II. i. 211 In these times you stand on distance: your Passes, Stoccado's, and I know not what.
: : In U.S. slang the entire phrase, "make a pass at someone," has two separate meanings. The first is to attack. In the words of the OED,
: : "A threat of violence; an attempt to hit someone. Chiefly in to make a pass at.
: : 1900 'J. FLYNT' & 'F. WALTON' Powers that Prey 156 It's time 't you get your graft in elsewhere. I ain't makin' no passes at you nor nothin', but if you sprint, you can catch that seven-thirty this evenin'. 1908 in G. H. Fleming Unforgettable Season (1982) 57 McGann..made a vicious pass at the Giants' manager. 1935 D. LAMSON We who are about to Die xi. 187 'Why you lyin' so-an'-so,' he says... An' he makes a pass at me. 1973 Playboy Jan. 240 'I could kill you, you know.' 'I don't know any such ****in' thing... You ever made a pass at me, well, you better make a good one is all.'
: : The OED also uses the version associated with what we may call rude courtship, which became literary with Dorothy Parker:
: : "b. colloq. (orig. U.S.). An amorous or sexual advance. Also fig. Chiefly in to make a pass at.
: : 1925 D. PARKER in World (N.Y.) 16 Aug. 3E/1 News Item... Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses...."
: : I think I see the connections that made this use possible, once you accept that a lunge and an effort have been encompassed by this word for a long time.

That meaning is not from relationship perspective. This is what is. The other bit is just explanation of the connection.
