Question....My friend and I can't think of this Name
Rats..I know this but..
Anyway..What did they call the French..ah..ah.."Girlie-Men" back in the days of Louie the 14th and all that??
They wore extremely Puffy outfits and such..

(Sorry for the "Girlie-Man" comment but I couldn't think of another term)

7. Thanks Folks..What brought this up was..I was watching....
..a Movie last night and one of these "Fops" went into a tavern and all the Men were making fun of him and such.
A VERY, VERY bad idea as he was a Master Swordsman... :)

Cool Scene..Though..

10. In England, they were often called "Cavaliers"
Although Cavaliers were technically a follower of Charles I of England, that style of dress, etc. is sometimes also called "Cavalier."
