Classy

To express contempt with style, etiquette, and propriety:
  • Well I never!
  • Goodness gracious me!
  • Indeed!
  • How crude!
  • Hello! What's this?! / What's all this then?
  • I say!

To express satisfaction with style, etiquette, and propriety:
  • Jolly good!
  • Capital!
  • Good show lads!
  • Indeed! (It has a double meaning. The key is tone.)
  • Quite! Quite!
  • Smashing!
Top hat! Monocle!
