I love the idea that there are clickbait articles for middle-class people worried they might be too 'common':

My favourite takeaway was,: if someone discovers something you thought was public knowledge, such as the Titanic being a real ship, don't mock them for it. If you do, they'll become afraid of ever being wrong about things, and will stop being inquisitive and willing to share.
A two-panel comic from XKCD. Panel 1 - a block of text: I TRY NOT TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE FOR ADMITTING THEY DON'T KNOW THINGS. BECAUSE FOR EACH THING "EVERYONE KNOWS" BY THE TIME THEY'RE ADULTS, EVERY DAY THERE ARE, ON AVERAGE, 10,000 PEOPLE IN THE US HEARING ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. FRACTION WHO HAVE HEARD OF IT AT BIRTH = 0% FRACTION WHO HAVE HEARD OF IT BY 30 ≈ 100% US BIRTH RATE ≈ 4,000,000/year NUMBER HEARING ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME ~10,000 day Panel 2: IF I MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE, I TRAIN THEM NOT TO TELL ME WHEN THEY HAVE THOSE MOMENTS. AND I MISS OUT ON THE FUN. Below the text: Two people in conversation: Person 1: "DIET COKE AND MENTOS THING"? WHAT'S THAT? Person 2: OH MAN! COME ON, WE'RE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE. Person 1: WHY? Person 2: YOU'RE ONE OF TODAY'S LUCKY 10,000.
