Terribly repetitious gob of a social class (5,9)
I believe the answer is:
petit bourgeois
'a social class' is the definition.
(petit bourgeois is a kind of social class)
'terribly repetitious gob' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'repetitious'+'gob'='repetitiousgob'
'repetitiousgob' with letters rearranged gives 'PETIT BOURGEOIS'.
'of' is the link.
(Another definition for petit bourgeois that I've seen is " Lower middle class (person)".)
