I just had this discussion (ie disagreement) with my wife about the ubiquitous and invalid application of this word to virtually every scumbag on the planet, thus destroying any meaning. Cops now use it all the time to describe felonious suspects: "yes, we believe the gentleman in question slashed and then sexually assaulted the lady."

A "lady" used to denote a certain level of sophistication and breeding. Not anymore. Not since certain women became known as "ladies of the night". Or when the sloshingly drunk Lothario at the overcrowded singles bar, slurs out "Hello ladies!" with the intent to impress them with his uber-coolness.<br /><br />I look askance at anyone who calls me a "gentleman."
