mollusque commented on the word undebonair
Without the fantasized imposition of Clark Gable's face onto mine, I was inescapably myself, not just in looks but in my inner conviction that I was undebonair, unconfident, unattractive and unacceptable inside the charmed circle of "real Americans" that I imagined.
