Prongs up or prongs down? I was taught prongs up but seeing more and more people eat with prongs down.Am I a rube?

You need to hang around a better class of people.

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

Sometimes there’s three tines……

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’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?

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.

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.
