Aaahhh - I suspect that, if he had a title at all, far from being born into it, Herr Lindermann had actually bought it...
What's the German for 'social climber'?
DCN
Social climber means "gesellschaftlicher Aufsteiger" in German, in a less polite way you would call him "Emporkƶmmling" what might be the equivalent to a "Johnny come lately" or "parvenu" in English?
