toffs

Upper-crust chaps

Toffs is the plural of toff, British slang for wealthy, upper-class people, often with connotations of snobbery or entitlement.

The word carries mild derision—it's what working-class people call those born into privilege: The toffs in their country estates have no idea how ordinary people live.
