Grocery Getter

A compact, sub-compact or mid-sized coupe, sedan, hatchback or station wagon with a generous amount of trunk/hatch space and a back seat that usually folds down, powered by an unimpressive yet reliable and reasonably economical 4 cylinder engine. The idea is that such a vehicle is uninspiring to drive, but the trunk space at least makes it good for getting groceries.

Generally speaking, a bigger (ie; V6) engine or an engine that is turbo- or supercharged, along with bigger sway bars and stiffer suspension, are necessary turn a grocery getter into either a sports sedan or a sports coupe. Without these upgrades, a sporty-looking compact or sub-compact coupe is considered just a grocery getter.

Gertrude

Gertrudes are the funniest most outgoing people you'll ever meet. Once you get to know them, you'll never regret it. A Gertrude always takes care of those she loves. She has a dazzling smile with an amazing bod to go with it. They have awesome hair and really take care of themselves. Gertrudes are fun loving but when it comes down to it they work for what they want.

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.
