On 'quaint', you might like to know that to these Brit ears, at least, it sounds faintly condescending:

"How quaint," said Lois, watching the Morris dancers' display in Metropolis's pedestrianised shopping precinct.

...meaning that dressing in britches, wearing bells and slapping wooden batons together is a rather pathetic activity for grown men <g>.

In fact, being referred to as both quaint and British in the same breath *definitely* feels condescending. No doubt it's not intended that way. smile
