So What Does "Cultured" Really Mean?

Definition of Cultured:

-adjective
1. enlightened; refined. (I think this is what we are aiming at)
2.artificially nurtured or grown: cultured bacteria (gross! )
3. cultivated; tilled (does this mean we have to get dirty to be cultured?)

Synonyms:
1. Polished, sophisticated, elegant, genteel

It is a room full of sophisticated people, and like Bridget Jones, you can only ask which direction the toilet is. You need some of that cultured stuff, a head full of artwork, German classic composers, ballet, and poetry. The only way to get cultured is to learn, so start reading. Knowledge is power, and I hope to advance my knowledge along with you in this blog. I hope to bring to light everyday a useful tip and an understandable lesson in the arts. Hopefully we can then pull off phrases like: “So what do you think of the situation in Chechnya?” and know what we are talking about.

Tip of the Day: Don't pick your nose in front of people anymore, especially in public, even in front of your family at home.
