Example:
Daniel: Hey Rich, thanks for washing those dishes from the
cook's line! You are a gentleman and a scholar and I'd love to meet
your father someday; I'm sure he can cook a mean
meat loaf.
Rich: I never meet my father.

Someone who is in school for a
perpetually long time, for a scholarly degree that has no practical use in the real world. Usually describes someone who comes from a wealthy or
aristocratic family since pursuing such a degree costs a lot of money and won't help the individual obtain a job. In polite societies, may be used derisely to describe someone as a "
professional student".
Example:
Catherine: Ah
Mr. Darcy, the last time I saw you ten years ago, you were pursuing a Philosophy Degree at Oxford.
What have you been up to now?
Mr Darcy: I am attending Harvard and working on my Ph.D. in Western Mediveal Literature.
Catherine: Oh that's nice. (Mockingly) You're quite the gentleman scholar.
