    Gamine. Who else has their own adjective?

    Gamine. Only ever used in the meeja to describe one, sole person in the history of popular culture, as far as I'm aware.

    I did a quick OTF trawl and I see there was a thread about five years ago called Current Gamine, which gave me a chuckle. That thread indeed nominated others aside from Audrey.

    Ignoring that, for a mainstream view and my own convenience - any other film or TV celebrities with their own "brand" adjective?

    I dunno. Who are you thinking of? Audrey Hepburn? Audrey Tautou? Helena Bonham Carter? Winona Ryder?

    So, I contend that the word is not just used for one person. (Though I presume you mean Hepburn, because she seems to be the most common)

      Perhaps not a total monopoly, but I immediately thought exclusively of AH when I saw the word just now.

            Seeing the thread title the name that rushed to mind was Paulette Goddard (almost certainly because of her character in Modern Times).

              Looks like I will have to withdraw the monopolistic theory, clearly. And thus, the premise of the thread! As you were.

              "Hangdog" was good though.

                Although it could also be applied to Steve Buscemi.

                  Any character played by Norman Wisdom is inevitably hapless.

                            Mention of Nawty Dan is good enough reason to remind everyone of this.

                              For the record, the original "Current Gamine" thread was a parody of another thread called "Current Gaming" that was going on at the same time.

                                And Current Gaming still lives, intermittently.
