I don't think class or shame come into it much. It depends on context. I agree it's not an easy term to fit in. |

I find this entry quite hard to understand.
Can it be added that "due to being too high class" to the restaurant sense and "due to shame" to the house sense? |

Originally, this was only used when talking about people's homes but it's a acquired a wider meaning (that many consider incorrect). |
