The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is DANDY/PHILANTHROPY #wotd #dandy #philanthropy #dandyism #blackdandyism #MetGala #MetGala2025

The Met Gala with its 2025 theme of Black dandyism is not just a party for celebrities, but has an important philanthropic purpose raising money for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and etymologically that’s appropriate. The etymology of dandy is uncertain, but the word is first attested in a Scottish border ballad in the late 18th c., and is perhaps an abbreviation of the term jack-a-dandy, with Dandy being a common Scottish diminutive of the name Andrew. The name Andrew is common throughout Europe in various forms due to the apostle Andrew, and ultimately derives from the Greek form of the name Andreas, which comes from the Greek adjective andreios “manly, courageous”, from the noun aner “man”, and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *ner- “man”. From this root also comes the Greek word anthropos “human being”, which when combined with philos “beloved, dear” produced philanthropia “humanity, benevolence, kindliness”, which eventually passed into English giving us philanthropy.

The 2025 Met Gala is tonight! Let us know whose outfit is your favorite and we'll compare hot takes!

Meanwhile, here's our silver and sapphire tie tack to match the cufflinks we posted earlier - both fit for the modern dandy. 🪶🌸🎩

Here's an off-topic question for UK readers:

In the 1960s either the Beano or the Dandy comic had a comic strip in which there was a flying craft equipped with rescue gear, much like Thunderbird Two, although this craft had a pointed nose and a glass cockpit.

The pilot had two kids and they flew smaller versions of this craft. I've done all kinds of searches, can't find the answer.

Does anyone know the title of this comic strip?

Der Flamingo ist der Dandy unter den Tieren. Er ist stets gepflegt in seinem Äußeren und besitzt einen exquisiten Geschmack.

Ein Flamingo mit Monokel, Zylinder und um den Hals gebundenen Seidenschal hält in einer Kralle ein gefülltes Sektglas und eine brennende Zigarette im Schnabel, während er den Betrachter abschätzig durch das Monokel taxiert.

Er war der "Ur-Dandy", der Erfinder einer eleganten, geistreichen, sehr britischen Lebensweise. Am 30.3.1840 starb George "Beau" Brummell - und sah sich selbst im Spiegel dabei zu...
George #Brummell formt Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts den #Stil seiner Zeit. Er lebt vor, dass nicht der Anzug den Menschen, sondern der Mensch den Anzug macht. Er inszeniert sich selbst als #Kunstwerk, schlicht aber perfekt, und verfolgt dabei nur ein Ziel: #Eleganz als #Lebenshaltung. #Dandy

"“To me, dandyism is the ultimate act of adornment; deeply personal, playful and transgressive,” said McGirr of his third go-round at the helm of the historic House. “It raises questions of character and identity, idealism and gender. I wanted to explore the enduring relevance of the dandy’s radical spirit in our modern world.”"

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of the great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

The Dandy may well be a very British part of history; the elegant man about town who had nothing more important to do than, be beautiful. But it was not in fact, initially a British folly.
