Cholmondelling

What is Cholmondelling?

1.

Pronounced "chum-ling". Inventing detailed rules of etiquetteout of whole cloth in an attempt to help people put on airs, or to put them on oneself. From a 1980s magazine advert purporting to show how best to consume certain fashionablewafery mints. A sad waste of what often could have been a brilliant imagination. May be intended satirically, although never of course taken that way by devoted etiquette freaks.
