Lady of Leisure

A snooty way for a woman to say she's unemployed

Anne: Hey Elisa, what did you say your job was?
Elisa: Oh I'm a lady of leisure! I just do whatever and see where life takes me.
Anne: So you're basically being pretentious about being unemployed?
Elisa: Am not! I was using it ironically!
