Be like the suave Edmorel and work the words coprophiliac and catamite into every conversation.

Describe any fortuitous act of happenstance as "splendid".

Declaim any occurrence of misfortune with "oh bother", as in: "Oh bother, Tarquin. I appear to have befouled my silk cravat with this rather substandard foie gras. By the way, dear chap, you are a motherfucker."

Dandyism, debonair, bon vivant, rakish, suave, urbane, hedonism. All describe the good life.

As far as exclamations go, nothing quite carries the same weight as "Great Ceasar's ghost!"
