a gentleman's
A gentleman's is when someone smokes a joint just to themselves. Usually this also involved the person being alone, but it still counts as
a gentleman's if you are in a group of two or more people but you are the only one smoking that specific joint.The slang emerged in the mid
2010's in North London and is used mainly in this area but has since spread across London and to other Southern cities, such as Bristol and Cardiff.There is much scholary debate about a woman partaking in "a gentleman's". The
traditionalist school of thought purports that a gentleman's is always a gentleman's regardless of the smoker. The revisionist school of thought, which has been influenced by feminist stoners, suggests that the word should be feminised, and that women should refer to a joint they are smoking by themselves as a "lady's". Finally, most recently a post revisionist school of thought has proposed that all people should refer to their individual joint as a "person's". This final term has failed to find any popularity as slang. Most people will refer to a gentleman's as a gentleman's whether they are a man or woman, but you do occasionally hear people say "lady's".

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of
propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him
to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. -
John Walter Wayland
Example:
He wouldn't do that to
us, he's a Gentleman.

A gentleman is a man who does not cower to outside forces, he is strong and true to his word. He does the right thing, even if the right thing does not seem the popular thing. His
strength of character is apparent in his presence as he enters a room and exerts not arrogance, but confidence that is contagious to others.
A true gentleman never lacks a friend, because
a true gentleman is a friend. The word 'Gentle' in gentleman is not in the sense that he is soft, but that with his confidence and aura, others might feel comfortable in his presence.
Example:
A man is
a boy who has come of
age; a gentleman is a man
who left that boy behind.

Something very rare today. A man who is respectful and considerate of those around him. Acts politely. Treats women with respect. Open doors for them, pulls out
chairs, and is classy. What more guys should be. Because regardless of what your
testosterone driven buddies tell you, treating people with respect and being polite doesn't make you a "fag" or "
wimp" or whatever. It makes you a good person and will really benefit you in life.
Example:
When we went out, he opened
doors for me, offered me his coat, and brought me flowers. He was such a gentleman.
Tom:
Hello sir, it's
nice to meet you.
Man: Same to you.
Other person: Tom is nice young gentleman

A polite, well-dressed, well-spoken, educated and scholarly man (Sorry ladies, but being a male is required.). He speaks with passion, and will only resort to violence when it is the final option. He fights with honor, and accepts victory or defeat graciously. A man that some will
aspire to, and some will
despise. Has a high sense of honor, and will not take an insult to it
lightly.
Example:
The sharp-dressed man walked down
the avenue cheerfully, moving out of
people's ways, and helping them if they
tripped. He appeared to be a proper gentleman
