    9. be unconsciously rude
    10. call himself a true gentleman
    11. refer to games - e.g. soccer, football, tennis - as 'sport' or 'sports' when they are clearly not at all.
    12. live in Surrey, both of them
    13. keep a regular tankard in the lounge bar of his local pub
    14. refer to morning dress as 'my morning suit', or dinner attire as 'my dinner suit', unless actually a suit.
    15. have more than one button on his coat cuff. The one button allowed must also function as a button.
    16. write to newspapers
    17. call a boating coat a 'blazer'.
    18. wear shorts (except when playing games)
    19. live within his means

    most surgeons would hope to also gain a reputation for being reliable so it's probably for the best if they're not apparently "true gentleman"

    My generalist, Dr. Nicholas Riviera, would respectfully disagree.

    Perhaps he is more concerned with being a gentleman, than a doctor.

    Gentlemen don't ski. Gentlemen go to ski resorts, sure. They might even own skis and ski equipment. But actually go down the slope? The after-ski bar is the only place a true gentlemen should be found, enjoying a fine spritzer and smoking a cigar.

    Edit: Also, to reply to the first reply. Yet this is from a thing.

    I agree. It's like there's some kind of joke I'm missing. What's so bad about skiing?

    Nothing's bad about it

    It's just not gentlemanly

    Not everyone's cut out to be a gentleman, you see (me included). There's no shame in it. You just don't get invited to any of the better parties.

    This is obviously satire.
