A Temple Macaroni Finish:none the word came to mean'A Temple Macaroni', 1772; an exquisite with a waist length pigtail and a simpering expression minces along while a dog, also with a long tail, trots along beside him. Possibly a reference to Richard Grenville Temple, first Earl Temple. A macaroni was an eighteenth century British dandy who affected continental fashions.
