Is 'dandism' even a word? :blink:

comes from the word 'Dandy'

dan·dy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dnd)

n. pl. dan·dies

A man who affects extreme elegance in clothes and manners; a fop.

Something very good or agreeable.

Nautical. See yawl.

:thumbsup:

you can put 'ism' on the end of nearly anything.. makes it a movement or groups a selection of people/objects.

The MR2 is the Adam Ant of cars!

DANDISM FOR BEGINNERS

The Japanese are fond of using English slogans to market products. So in Nagoya - the home of Toyota, no doubt hours of brainstorming yielded the word "dandism" ...and it was deemed cool. Yes but what the heck does it mean? A quick bit of research revealed that it is actually derived from the word "Dan" (as in Judo) and refers to machoism or the traditional image of Japanese masculinity and patriarchy. Such sayings don't easily translate across cultures, so you won't find this definition in the Oxford English Dictionary. Whereas guys are walking around with a spring in their step in downtown Osaka cos they got "Dandism" on their roof, my initial reaction was to cringe - then I saw the funny side!

A MAN IN DANDISM, NEW RICH AND SPORTS

...and that's what it says on the mats. Additionally, for the benefit of those in hot pursuit, some cars have a sticker in the rear window hailing this!

:wacko:

Hope that sets you right!!!

Oh... and I have the mats, but mine are just black, unlike Rico's two-tones (and I'm not referring to them needing a wash!!! ;) )

:lol:
