Question Posted Wednesday October 26 2005, 10:17 pm

I have a project in English for an individual reading assignment, and i got signed THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE.. its a movie also..

but in the movie and the book, Miss Brodie keeps saying she will turn her students in to creme de la creme. does anyone know what she means by that? I don't know if anyone would have read it so that would probably make more sense..

easy 5

Creme de la creme originally meant high class or best of the best. They would be above all others. You see before they started homogenizing milk the fat of the milk (the cream) would float to the top. People use to scrape the cream off the top of milk for their coffee or whatever other uses they may have had like wipped cream. It is a french saying and literally translated it is "cream of the cream".

Good Luck!
