Cách sử dụng
The word 'babbitt' is not commonly used in modern English language. It refers to a person who is an average, conformist, and materialistic member of the middle-class society. The word comes from the title character of a novel called "Babbitt" by Sinclair Lewis. It is typically used in a critical or mocking way to describe someone who is obsessed with conforming to societal norms and ideals rather than thinking for themselves. However, since the word is not commonly used nowadays, it is best to avoid using it in everyday language.
