Brideshead
Definitions
Examples
“In many ways it is easier to penetrate the English elite if one hails from rural Wyoming than from cockney Cheapside. Many of the most "Brideshead" characters I met in Cambridge, for example, actually came from abroad. There was the German lawyer in my course who wore a different-colored paisley ascot every day of the week.”
“Every staircase had its earl or an honourable, there was even a maharajah floating about the place⟳. It was still very Brideshead but Johnnie never let⟳ such things stop⟳ him.”
