raffish (RAFF ish) Coming from the Swedish word for “rubbish,” this adjec-tive can mean “cheaply or showily vulgar in appearance” or “tawdry” (see the “Eponyms” section). It is often used today, however, to mean “charac-terized by a carefree or fun-loving unconventionality.”
- When Jack walked into the classroom wearing a fedora at a raffish angle, his classmates were amused and his teacher made him remove it immediately.
- Chet’s raffish behavior at parties and other social gatherings earned him the admiration of Claire, the beat poet, and Stanley, the existentialist philosopher.

raffish(RAFF ish)来自瑞典语中“垃圾”的意思,这个形容词的意思可以是“廉价或炫耀的粗俗外表”或“俗气”(见“Eponyms”部分)。然而,它在今天经常被用来表示“以无忧无虑或爱好娱乐的非传统为特征”
