When Should A Refined Man Like Me Laugh Maniacally?

[TherefinedByron]

I did it quite frequent and I really fond of it. Is it seem to be uncourtious for a refined man like me to seek pleasure by laughing maniacally?

If you wish to behave like an 18th toff, then you should reserve "maniacal" laughter to all male company. Do not behave in a raucous manner in front of ladies or in polite company. It's fine in a small group of gentleman friends or with a paid companion but otherwise do not do it. Always show some reserve.

However, if you wish to behave in a way that is acceptable in the 21st century, stop posting nonsense on forums about what others think and get out there an join the real world. It strikes me you are trying to persuade yourself you are refined, whereas personally, I think you sound a bit up yourself.

You may wish to join some sort of re-enactment society, which might get you out more and satisfy your need for foppish behaviour.

18th Century toff, that should read.

Not so refined if you don't know how to spell "uncourteous"....

Good to have Jacob Rees-Mogg in the fold.

[gingejbee]

@18.00...and even less refined, since the word is "discourteous"!

^^ It could be either

[youngmafbog]

No, I dont think 'either' would work in that sentence.

It would be better, if I may say so, if this tendency to laugh for no apparent cause could be curtailed. This action could be detrimental to one's social life, in that invitations to social gatherings could become quite rare. The manic laughter tendency could also be seen, by some, as a symptom of some deeper affliction, which could, conceivably, render the - erm - one who laughs persona non grata.

Only once your moustache has grown to the optimum twirling length. At this point there is no limit to your maniacal chortling.

[DTCwordfan]

And can you or your ghastly moustache fill a Parliamentary bench like the Member for the 19th. Century and chortling away for which he was speaker-admonished?

His image as a reclining nude at the time looked like a Modigliani female....
