A boy who's called Enton collar???

0 Hi, 02br
00I think you mean an Eton collar. It's part of the special clothing worn by boys who attend Eton, which is a very expensive and exclusive school for young boys in England. It's basically a rather old-fashioned, big white shirt-collar. 02br

0 Thank you. 0-

0 So, when we use it to refer to a person, does it mean he is a rich person? 0-

0 You mean something like 'He's an Eton collar'? 02br

00I've never heard anyone use it like this to refer to a person. I'd have trouble understanding what they meant. But it's true that if someone goes to Eton, they are not poor. 02br

0 Hi Basil, 02br
00is this something you've read, or something you've heard? If it's the latter, I wonder if you mean "Eton scholar" which is just a boy who goes to Eton school. 0-

0 Ah Ha! Nice guess, Abbie! 02br

0 Hi abbie1948! I've read it in the Saint-Petersburg's Times. They've called so a new generation of Russian bisnessmen. 0-

0 In that case, Basil, I don't think it has anything to do with Eton School. The collars worn at Eton are roundish. I think it refers to the type of shirt worn by these business men, which have a sharp cut-away collar, sometimes with buttons. 0-

0 Yeah, but 'Eton scholar' was still a nice guess. 02br
