perfumed prince
 n.— «These Defense Department do-gooders and their Pentagon Perfumed Princes are asking our military personnel to go to war and to kill for their country, but they must do it in a nice way. If they show their warrior spirit in the least, they will be reprimanded and admonished.» —“If you don’t have stomach for war, don’t start one” by Joe R. Richardson in Fairview Cincinatti Post (Ohio) Dec. 30, 1998. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
