Cordial Gentlemen

A satiric term for a man who displays certain characteristics of class and elegance, but chooses often to act rude and distasteful, often in front of large groups of people.

Most of these people are hairy beer-drinking slugs who sit and listen to bad hair metal and watch re-runs of Cheers all day.

The term was coined by the Minnesota rock band Silent Are The Dead, on their album "Guns, Guts, and Glory" and has become an important part of the mid-western lexicon ever since.
"Look at those drunk assholes over there, some cordial gentlemen they are."

Time Gentlemen Please

A phrase called out at closing time in a pub. A bell usually rings ten or fifteen minutes before to alert people that the bar is closing so that they can order more drinks. Then at closing the bell rings again and the bar person can say "Time gentlemen please!"

Also a TV show aired on Sky One starring Al Murray as the sad landlord of a london pub next to a chemical plant.
"Right that's it, time gentlemen please! Come on, drink up!"

Laughing Gentlemen's Club (LGC) 

A club composed of the most elite men of our time. A classy group of hearty fellows who share a common bond of good laughter. They drink wine heavily with signature cheeses. Blunts are preferred however steam rollers are acceptable. To get in this group you must forego a horrendous amount of what to some is known as (hazing). However, we view hazing as an opportunity to become an elite member of society. A laughing gentleman once said "being a laughing gentleman wont give you a hearty laugh, having a hearty laugh will make you a laughing gentleman."

Freshman: "Who smokes the blunts?"

Ladies and Gentlemen 

A phrase used to formally address any group of people. Effectively eliminates the meaning behind the terms, "ladies," and "gentlemen."

The Gentlemen’s Duel

This game is played by a maximum of 4 (in pairs) or a minimum of 2 (1v1) straight males. You strip down and turn back to back/cheek to cheek. You walk three paces forward and the first person or pair to get hit with semen loses. If one player per pair gets hit then the two remaining opponents must once again turn back to back/cheek to cheek and restart to proceed into a 1v1. The winner gets all the glory.
