landed gentry

wealthy aristocrats (and/or nobles and/or merchants) living on manorial estates in the countryside and owning slaves or serfs.
Landed gentry, exempt from mandatory military under Catherine The Great of Russia, retired to their estates to live like hedonists; this is part of the reason why Russian society actually degenerated to the point of revolution by 1917.

Landed on the Moon Moment

In reference to the 1996 classic Dumb and Dumber, in which Lloyd Christmas, Jim Carrey, sees the news clipping the the 1969 lunar landing. Christmas then says, "No way. We've landed on the moon!"
Used to describe a moment when a person is completely ignorant of a major event.
Rachel had a Landed on the moon moment when she discovered that best friend had had several children.

La La Landed

When a couple breaks up because it is "right person, wrong time", with the expectation of getting back together a year or more later, but when they meet again one of them has moved on.
