1) A Dandy--a dandy--a gay man, so called because of Joel Cairo in "The Maltese Falcon." Joel Cairo is one of the first clearly gay men to appear in American film. A Joel Cairo is probably a gay man who hasn't come out but is kinda obvious if you smell his gardenia scented business cards. 2) To do a Joel Cairo is recoup your losses after having seemed to have failed. To suddenly rally in the face of defeat--much in the same way Hulk Hogan suddenly comes back from the dead when the Hulkamaniacs start screaming his name.
