chained_bear commented on the word honnete homme
Actually spelled honnête homme, but I couldn't get the circumflex in there.
Usage:
"...seemed to say that although he had not known these things the ignorance did not diminish him in any way—they were merely technical—an honnête homme was not required to know them."
--Patrick O'Brian, The Thirteen Gun Salute, 148–149
