A gentleman and a scholar noun phrase cliché
Someone (usually a male) who is highly regarded or admired by others
I am grateful to you for helping me. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
He often helps the homeless. He's a gentleman and a scholar.
Deserve the pay or reward that you get because you do well
1. Very good
2. Very thin
This phrase is used to compliment a well behaved and well educated male in a bombastic and lighthearted way.
This phrase comes from a time when only well-bred boys and men (or those who joined a religious order) received any kind of education. It first appeared in print in 1607.
Do you see anything wrong?
