Enlightening Eponyms: Babbit

By alicelouise12

The only thing I can congratulate

myself with, is that I am not in

the habit of acting like a babbit

“A self-satisfied narrow-minded

person who conforms to conventional

ideals of business and material

success” – if hubby were not in

charge of financial affairs, I would

have been bankrupt ages ago and

living like a pauper – and if he

were more of a babbit, we would

have been well-off, but now we

prefer holidays at the sea-shore

and eating in restaurants more

than watching a growing bank

account – so he’s no babbit

either!
