Gentlemen and Snobs

Michael Bucci on Askmen.com has a guide on Etiquette of a Gentleman. Many people believe that being a gentleman means literally being a gentle man. The word "gentleman" however refers to the behavior of the gentry or the nobility. To be a gentleman then is to act like a snob. If someone admires gentlemanly behavior, it is a sign that that person is also a snob.
