How People Actually Use It

Twenty-something male who apes the dress (tweed suits, waistcoats, glasses, hats etc) and intellectual tastes of the "old fogey" generation.

""This trendy fashion for young fogey-ism must be stopped immediately! If I see one more young man parading around in his grandad's suit and sounding like the only-begotten son of Stephen Fry and Morrissey I shall leave England forever!""
