Looks like it gets progressively less formal as you move up in class.
So would a homeless person say "I beg your pardon?"

Yeah they might say that They need the coin so they have to be extra polite or people won't give them money Another one is what you call the midday meal: Dinner Used by the working class Lunch Used by the middle class Luncheon Used by the upper class

Middle lower: What the fugg...
Middle: fugg!
Middle higher: fuggin' a.
High: Shit.
Skyborn: God damn it.
