-->"I shuffle my feet and blush a good deal and say, 'Yes, I suppose you're right'. After all, I tell myself, there has been no generic term for the type of young man who figures in my stories since he used to be called a knut in the pre-first-war days, which certainly seems to suggest that the species has died out like the macaronis of the Regency and the whiskered mashers of the Victorian age."

* TwentiesBobHaircut: While bobbed hair is most associated with the 1920s and 1930s, bobbed hair had early adopters in the Edwardian era such as the French actress [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaire Polaire]] and the American dancer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_and_Irene_Castle Irene Castle]].
