You need to hang around a better class of people.

Prongs down is classless. It’s the way Eurotrash eats.

Grew up a prongs up guy but have shifted to being a dedicated prongs down adherent over the years. I'm no longer shoveling food into my mouth like a fricking vagrant that hasn't eaten in 3 days....unless I'm eating rice, there's no tines down possible when eating rice.

I think prongs down into mouth looks so tacky. No idea why.

I’m right handed, so my knife is in my right. I hold my fork in my left—cut and eat with prongs down.

If cutting then down, I think. What else would you do? Maybe I rotate it as I bring it to my mouth. Who thinks about this?

you are the first person I've seen say "vagrant" instead of the PC "homeless person" in 30 years

I was taught prongs down in my left hand, knife in your right by my home ec teacher in 9th grade.

I still do it that way.

There's an old WWII movie where an American spy gives himself away to Nazis by the way he holds a knife and fork

As an alpha, my food chews itself then jumps into my mouth without me having to do any work.

No alpha ever referred to himself as an alpha. You’re probably a delta.
