English term
ascot
Bearded Man: I think the make-out king is a little occupied. ( Clicks tongue )
Manny: Have you no respect for the ascot?!
What are you doing here?
Jay: I need you to come to our anniversary party.
Manny: I thought I was persona non grata. Now I'm halfway into flagrante delicto.
Jay: This, I don't miss. Your mother is upset you're not gonna be there.
Manny: Well, then maybe she shouldn't have banished me from the house.
Jay: I may have accidentally led you to believe that she was part of that decision, when actually...
Manny: I knew it! I knew my mom wouldn't be that mean to her little papi.
Denise: Manny?
Manny: ( Deep voice ) One minute, baby.
Jay: ( Chuckles ) That's been working?
Manny: ( Normal voice ) Shut up. So, I've been icing my mother for a week because of you? She must think I'm the worst son.
In this scene from Modern Family, Manny was making out with a girl when Jay knocked on the door. Then, Manny says, "Have you no respect for the ascot?!"

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Nathan Lane will return to Modern Family this spring as the brunch-munching, ascot-donning power-gay Pepper Saltzman.

I'm not familiar with the series, but ascots are often worn by pretentious people.
