Alpo Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) I know this is from Brave New World. I have not read it. Have no desire to read it. In the book I am reading, the term is being used insultingly - "a group of gamma minus girls in her home room were picking on her". Google is no help. No matter how I phrase the search, they can't tell me what on is. I understand that the fetuses are designated alpha beta gamma delta or epsilon. I understand that alphas and betas get good jobs while gammas deltas and epsilons get crappy ones. It's the MINUS part that's throwing me. Can someone explain just exactly what a gamma minus is?

Just gradations within the groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I would equate it with C-. Barely passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
