If that were the case, (related however) then the person would have a legitimate claim, and would not be nuts, no?

I think it is more likely that he is "aristocrat on paper only" or something of that ilk. Just think of the "aristocrats" you meet online!

While I'm capable of causing great damage, the name is damOge, sort of short-hand for D. A. Moggio. My name is Deborah, but I'm more comfortable with debby with a "y". I do, however, much enjoy being a bee.

Glad you found it useful. I thought it was fun, too.

Just asked a Dutch friend. He says it means, he's nuts. I guess it's equivalent to
he only thinks he's an aristocrat...

(the "thinks" was meant to be italicized, but that's not how it looks right now)

how about "to dog his steps"? Not necessarily a happy picture, but an evocative one, no?
