What's posh about Crispin? The sound, the letters, what Confused? How is it different to Christoph or Christopher?

plateofbiscuits no it wasn't a haircut that did it! Just a horrible man shudder

Orthopaedic shoes.. because there's a big company near me called Crispin and that's what they produce!

George McFly from Back to the Future.

Public school, floppy hair.

Also makes me think of Quentin Crisp.

School nickname Crisp?

mamahanji · 22/08/2018 21:12

It makes me think of people that have crust at the corners of their mouth.

Not a clue why

BabloHoney · 22/08/2018 21:12

Posh and creepy/ ineffectual.

I was in school with a Crispin in the 60's. The family were quite bohemian so that's the image it sums up for me.

AppleJuiceFlood · 22/08/2018 21:19

I think of a kids book about a pig called Crispin who was very greedy. 😂

Spam88 · 22/08/2018 21:19

Makes me think of a shrivelled old man.

Pretentious twat.

Waitrose and people who can pronounce quinoa properly.

Immediately Crisp n Dry

Then upon further consideration ... a small crisp too.

Went to school with one. He was very nice and very posh (came to our 'secondary modern' from public school when parents separated).

pieceofpurplesky · 22/08/2018 21:22

And we used to call him crisp n dry

Knittedfrog · 22/08/2018 21:22

George and Mildred

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 22/08/2018 21:22

With crisp n dry the food stays crisp and dry

TheLastNigel · 22/08/2018 21:23

I think of Crispin Mills the lead singer of 90's band Kula shaker who I really fancied back in the day until it emerged that he was a huge racist. Sorry op, that probably wasn't what you wanted-but that said there are probably few people who remember him now.
