always the lady

Sarcastically used to denote startlingly boorish behavior- generally in public.

Tom: "I'm not so sure about this place. It's nice, but potentially very snooty."

Jeanne: "Let's give it a shot. I love those wall sconces!" (Falls off chair/chokes on olive/belches loudly)

Tom: "Always the lady."
