"the line "jumped up pantry boy who doesn't know his place" was taken from the film Sleuth, in which the upper class protagonist played by Sir Laurence Olivier uses the phrase as an insult to his working class rival played by Sir Michael Caine." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Charming_Man So it comes from the film Sleuth and is an insult against a working class person I would surmise.
