• This phrase is worth noting precisely because it does not belong in this dictionary: it makes sense in a moral universe that has utterly vanished. The last cad and [bounder] died, perhaps, about 1947 (see London Daily Telegraph [obituaries] for further evidence).
    Although they are appropriately linked, the precise meanings differ. A cad is one who does harm to a womans honor or sense of self-worth as, for example, by taking her for a garden walk when he has no intention of marrying her. A bounder is a presumptious [upstart], seemingly ignorant of, but perhaps merely indifferent to, fundamental norms of propriety.
