    Since the question isn't given in grammatical English, this is a bit of a puzzle. What I *expect* that it's saying is that Rita talks about something she refers to as "popular culture" (a term in regular use today). Frank talks about "high culture", which would be the upper-crust practices. What humorous interpretations result from their misunderstandings of the concept of "culture"?

    Imagine that Rita is talking about texting, iPods, Miley Cyrus, and the "Twilight" movies. Frank is talking about the finer points of yacht racing, five-start restaurants, and the city symphony playing for next week's opera opening.

    Does that give you something to work with?

    "When you talk about Dylan,
    *he* thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas ...
    whoever *he* was.
    The man ain't got no culture!"
