One definition of middle-class is anyone whose life opportunities are optimistic, predictable, or upwardly mobile. Some others would say it's about watching our children succeed and do a heck of a lot better than we've done.
Many individuals used to describe themselves as middle, or upper middle-class because we're all looking to be part of the great society. Most people didn't think of themselves as poor and wouldn't describe themselves as upper-class. But recently we see more families struggling to make ends meet.

Please, think before you open your mouth. You may also wish to consider practicing a better method of communicating with others, besides trash talking.
Also, utilizing the only 27 words you know, interspersed with what I prefer to identify as crutches, such as "I'm like, he's like, she's like." or "you know", "ah", "um" and so many other noises, which are unacceptable and totally inefficient form of communication. Advertising invented terms like super-size and other made up monstrosities are just not proper uses of our language.
