You are a dandy

Elegance, charm, wit, and ineffable style, you have it all. You're a dandy, through and through, and would be foxy even if you were half asleep -- which, quite often, you ARE, if it's before noon. You just can't help yourself. You are simply divine.As poet Charles Baudelaire explained: 'The dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime.' You have already reached the zenith and therefore deserve something exquisite and a cat nap.

You are not a dandy

You are not a dandy, but quite possibly a very nice person, anyway, so we just can't hold that against you.
