Indeed. I am reminded of the famous put down of Napoleon Bonaparte by the Duke of Wellington...

“On the field of battle his hat is worth 10,000 men. But it doesn’t matter. He is not a gentleman.”

I don’t think he claimed to be a gentleman...

#3: "A true gentleman never brags afterward. So I've heard, anyway."

In better times, such a man was derisively known as a cad, certainly not a gentleman.
