Merriam-Webster says that a gentleman is a man whose conduct conforms to a high standard of propriety or correct behavior.
Recently on ABC, report Brad Garrett on GMA, said about the scumbag that raped and killed seven-year old Somer Thomson “Law enforcement does not have time to keep track of people like this gentleman.”
Could someone please buy Mr. Garrett a copy of MW or the OED and dog-ear “gentleman” and “scumbag” for him.
Evidently, he can’t tell the difference.
