Dandy
UK comic publication
A dandy is a man who cultivates an elegant, refined appearance—fastidious about dress, grooming, and manners.
The word carries a whiff of excess or vanity: He fussed over his cravat like a Victorian dandy.
As an adjective, dandy means fine or satisfactory, often with light irony: Well, isn't that just dandy.
