List
just a quote that might address some of the negative posts.

Lord Chesterfield
" Wear your learning as you wear your watch in a private pocket, and do not
pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have it."

For you youngsters he is refers to a pocket watch usually worn on a chain
and kept in a special pocket. To "strike" ones watch, meant to take it out
of the pocket with a great flourish and great self pride.
