Word of the Day Contenance
countenance - Cool attitude, composure
properties from the high school of good manners. Corresponds to "stay cool" to some extent today. The countenance is preserved when one of unkind remarks can not bring calm, but on the contrary, shall continue a cautious decent friendliness of the day. This includes a stable and any time-sensitive self-respect. If, for example, insulted, and you want to keep countenance, may one note to his hurt and may not be there and certainly not "retaliate in kind." Instead, it should respond with dignity, such as "Sorry, not my education allows you to respond appropriately." Or ignore the filthy person easily.
