Foppish Dandies are gentlemen of wit and learning, who are known to
jape and jest at the expense of others. They wear only the finest doublets and waistcoats, and their devastating
bon mots are feared by ladies and gentlemen of
good standing every-where.
Foppish Dandies tip their
caps at jaunty, rakish or
even saucy angles. They compose satirical quatrains while prancing merrily, gadding about gaily, kicking their heels to and
fro.
They have also been known flout good taste by wearing the gaudiest and most ostentatious monocles. Some Foppish Dandies comport themselves in a boorish manner, and stay up all night drinking vermouth and squandering their family fortunes at whist.
Lord Hamond
Snape Titmarsh-Magpie comported himself in a most boorish manner, affecting the dress and japery of a Foppish
Dandy and was slapped by no fewer than eight ladies of
good standing for his bold and ribald comments.
