class acts

People with integrity

Class acts is the plural of class act, someone or something displaying quality, grace, or admirable behavior.

The phrase often appears in contexts where dignity prevails despite difficult circumstances: Even after losing, she congratulated her opponent—real class acts, both of them.

It can be used sarcastically: Those class acts left their trash all over the park.
