Absolutely!
When I drink tea, I make sure my pinky finger is sticking out in the air.
I talk about having to take the Porsche in for repairs because it develops a funny sound right around 135 mph.
I wear my pearls with everything, including my PJs.
I talk (in a funny semi-English accent) about summering in the Hamptons and how I am always disappointed when the Kennedys can't make it over for doubles tennis.
I don't know anything about music unless it's classical or opera, and then I talk about how Kiri Te Kanawa's vibrato is getting weak as she ages.
I refuse to help anyone do dishes because my giant diamond wedding ring could so easily lose a prong and I'd lose my 6 carat diamond.
If I am at a cocktail party and someone wants to talk about the weather, I start spouting off about physics so I can make them feel stupid.
Do you believe me? I didn't think so.
Here's the truth:
I rarely drink tea, and if I do, it's with my hand wrapped around my mug.
I drive a Ford F-150 pickup truck, and wouldn't bother with a sports car even if I had the money for one.
I do have pearls, and I don't remember the last time I wore them. I generally don't like to because people comment on them and want to know if they are real, and I am embarrassed when I have to say they are.
I am not even really positive where the Hamptons are located, I wouldn't hang out with the Kennedys if I did, and I suck at tennis.
I like some classical and opera, but I am mainly into rock and all of it's sub-genres. I don't know enough about opera to comment on Te Kanawa's voice, and I wouldn't recognize it if I heard it unless someone told me who it was.
I wear a plain gold wedding band and my engagement ring is channel set rubies, because I am a not a diamond sort of girl. I do have diamond rings, and they, like my pearls, live in the safe deposit box at the bank.
Physics was one of my worst classes ever, and I didn't learn a thing. I would rather ***** about the weather while I drink my regular old Coke, just like a normal person.
There are, in truth, people who think I do put on airs. Generally what they comment on are my table manners and how I hold my utensils, how I speak and am able to use big words correctly in a sentence, and the fact that I have read a lot of books. Luckily, after talking to me for a bit, they realize that that stuff is just due to how I was raised and the fact that books are one of my passions.
It's hard to think a woman is putting on airs when she dresses in worn out Doc Martens, t-shirts, and jeans. If my shirt has buttons on it, it means it's a special occasion and I have dressed up.

Yes, when telephoning the bank or credit card company. Assuming an air of superiority can really get you places in those situations.
