Foppish dandy
-
[Foppish] [Dandies] are gentlemen of wit and learning, who are known to jape and jest at the expense of others. They wear only the finest doublets and waistcoats, and their devastating bon mots are feared by ladies and gentlemen of good standing every-where.
Foppish Dandies tip their caps at jaunty, [rakish] or even saucy angles. They compose satirical quatrains while prancing merrily, gadding about [gaily], kicking their heels to and fro.
They have also been known flout good taste by wearing the gaudiest and most ostentatious [monocles]. Some Foppish Dandies comport themselves in a boorish manner, and stay up all night drinking vermouth and squandering their family fortunes at whist.
