Line 1:
{{trope}}
A mythical creature of the male gender, the [['''Southern Gentleman]]''' is the [[Spear Counterpart]] to the [[Southern Belle]].
 
Common vices: [[The Alcoholic|Drinking]] and/or [[The Gambler|gambling]].
Line 38:
* Lucas Buck masquerades as one in ''[[American Gothic]]''.
* Bill Compton from [[True Blood]] is a variation, he's probably the most polite vampire ever.
* The [[Sports Night]] episode 'Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee' includes two characters discussing that this trope as it relates to the Confederate flag and the history of the south. When Isaac points out to Danny that their CEO, Luther Sachs, is a southerner who likes to consider ''himself'' a [[Southern Gentleman]]. As Isaac puts it, "the difference, Danny, is all the difference"; the implication being that Sachs confuses his [[Nouveau Riche|own wealth and elitism]] with the class and personal nobility that is associated with the trope.
* Occasionally, on ''[[Good Eats]]'', if the recipe has definite Southern roots (fried catfish, for example), Alton Brown will dress and speak like one of these, an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Col. Sanders.
* Blanche's father, who was known as 'Big Daddy', on ''[[The Golden Girls]]''.
