Gentry

1. Someone who blames his/her poor performance on everyone except himself/herself, even though such performance is a direct result of his/her own lack of effort or intelligence.

2. Some who is unwilling to accept inferiority in a particular area, even though it is evident that he/she is weaker when it comes to that area.

Example 1: Although the gentry did not study at all for the test, he insisted that his teacher and fellow peers was to blame for his failing grade.

Example 2: Kyle has beaten him in nearly basketball game the two have played against each other, and yet the gentry still insists that he is a better hooper than Kyle.
