The Lord Yeomans A steadfast, upstanding gentleman held high in society; a man of great dignity who carries himself as if he were born to command the manor, even if the manor is just a semi-detached. Origin: Dating back to rural English folklore, “The Lord Yeomans” was said to be the model village squire —the sort of man who’d wear polished boots to the corner shop and correct your Latin before holding the door for you. The term has survived into modern slang to describe any man of surprising refinement, wit, or quiet authority especially when that polish comes from pure confidence rather than privilege.
