: : This is interesting. Starting with
"Lazy Susan" and adding a little "naff" we now are at "Sloane Rangers" and "hooray
henry types". I found a "Sloane Ranger Handbook" online and based on that can
speculate on the attributes of the "ranger" culture. However, "hooray henry" wasn't
as clear. Though I'm clearly in no danger of meeting either (nationality, class,
wealth and geography among other small impediments), I am curious. Further definitions
anyone?
: The in-crowd (presumably) having gone to bed, a still-alert Pacific
Rim type found "hooray henry" in the Meanings & Origins section of this website.
And
a still alert, midwestern type thanks you. Any more on Sloane Rangers? They sound
similar to characters in old Joan Collin's movies. Or, moving the modifier, to
characters in Joan Collin's older movies.
