Sloane Ranger [sləʊn]
n (in Britain)
(Sociology) Informal a young upper-class or upper-middle-class person, esp a woman, having a home in London and in the country, characterized typically as wearing expensive informal country clothes Also called Sloane [coined by Peter York, punning on Sloane Square, London SW1, and Lone Ranger, television cowboy character] Translations Sloane Ranger [ˌsləʊnˈreɪndʒəʳ] N → niño/a m/f bien(londinense) SLOANE RANGER El término Sloane Ranger o Sloane se usa para referirse a los jóvenes de clase alta que viven en las zonas más refinadas de Londres, como por ejemplo Chelsea o Kensington, y que visten ropa muy cara de estilo campero. Los Sloane hablan con un acento típico de su clase, tienen, en general, ideas conservadoras y le dan mucha importancia al rango social y a la apariencia. Este término fue acuñado por un escritor de moda en los años 70 y se usa en la actualidad con un tono despectivo para referirse a las personas con valores superficiales. La expresión proviene de un juego de palabras hecho con Lone Ranger (el Llanero Solitario) y el nombre de una zona elegante del centro de Londres, Sloane Square. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Dateline: ) AFTER a tiresome day's shopping for a new Gucci handbag or pair of Dior sunglasses (or window shopping, as in my case) where better to place your Burberry scarf and refresh your weary YSL-clad feet than the kingdom's first posh eating place popular with London's Sloane Rangers. The business has gone from strength to strength ever since, enjoying particular success in the 1980s when advertising depicting a young couple wearing Barbour jackets, flat caps, and wellies led to young royals and city entrepreneurs desiring the product as part of the so-called Sloane Ranger look. |
