I am a captioner for a captioning company that provides services for a soap opera and a character has spoken these words. I need to make sure it is used correctly. Please don't ask what show this is or ask for spoilers as I can not and will not disclose due to contractual contingencies.

The line goes something to the effect of "That is so de classe." It sounds like it is used in a derogatory manner.

You probably mean déclassé, pronounced a bit like day-class-ay.
It means lower-class, beneath the dignity of the speaker.

AlpineAlli is correct. The word is de'classe'. Pronounced Day-clahss-AY. Not sure if it is really a French word or Franglais. It means low-class or lower-class. It is an insult.

I may be guessing here, but it sounds like the word "dégueulasse" in French, which means "gross". It's only a guess, but the 2 words do sound alike when spoken rapidly in French.

"De Classe" is French for "Of Class"
