dandy


used widely in late 20th century england. refers to men who consider themselves to be arbiters of culture and refinement and wit. often considered effeminate and/or overtly flaming. most likely s-xually aroused by other men, but not always. similar to today’s metros-xual. for example, most of oscar wilde’s plays contain dandies, and oscar wilde himself is perhaps the most famous example of a dandy.
