burrage 

Sanguine, well-read, and fascinating conversationalists, the Burrages are descended from a fearsome race of Gallic surfers. Their heads, which are perfectly proportioned, are handsome and usually adorned with a hat of the prevailing fashion.

Both a noun and a verb, one can either burrage (approach a task with vigour and panache), or be a bit of a burrage, ie refined yet virile.

"Look at that bloke with the excellent hat! Clearly a burrage."
"Yes, and observe the way he burrages by shooting and skinning that wild pig, afterwards incorporating it into a tasty and excellent risotto."
