Moggrel
mog-ruhl
A particular kind of mongrel: the aristocratic parasite who announces that the English are a mongrel people, then treats the observation as a lease on the manor. Descended, by his own account, from Norman conquerors, he uses the fact of ancient mixing to dissolve any later distinction between a settled people and whoever arrives next, while his own estate, accent and sinecure remain remarkably unmixed.
Not a dog of uncertain parentage. A pedigree in denial, living off the stock he has just declared imaginary.
