dudeism（n.）
1883年，“被称为花花公子的阶级的服装、举止和社交特点”[世纪词典]，源自于 dude + -ism。
The dude possesses in his outward appearance and bearing all the attributes of a gentleman, excepting, perhaps, that of manliness. His dress is unostentatious in its perfection, its only loud notes being a pair of white gaiters, which are believed to be going out already in obedience to the unwritten code of dudeism. Why the dude feels any interest in life is not clear—he does not look as if he enjoyed it. There is a certain introspective earnestness in his bearing that reminds one of the theological student, and perhaps the prevailing high collar strengthens the resemblance. [Phrenological Journal, July 1883]
花花公子在外表和举止上拥有绅士的所有特质，除了男子气概。他的着装完美而不张扬，唯一的亮点是一双白色的绑腿，据信已经在遵循花花公子主义的无书规定下退出了历史舞台。为什么花花公子会对生活产生任何兴趣并不清楚——他看起来并不像享受生活。他的举止有一种内省的认真态度，让人想起神学生，也许是因为高领子的流行加强了这种相似之处。[头相学杂志，1883年7月]
