Flâneur
Flâneur (French: [flɑnœʁ]) is a French noun referring to a person, literally meaning "stroller", "lounger", "saunterer", or "loafer", but with some nuanced additional meanings (including as a loanword into English). Flânerie is the act of strolling, with all of its accompanying associations. A near-synonym of the noun is boulevardier. Traditionally depicted as male, a flâneur is an ambivalent figure of urban affluence and modernity, representing the ability to wander detached from society with no other purpose than to be an acute observer of industrialized, contemporary life.

- A.V. Marraccini on X: "I grew up in an American suburb lived in London, Berlin, and now NYC-- and I think every city is that city. The exurban flâneur knows stretches of long highway that feel like Mountain Goats songs; the Brooklyn one romanticises peeling lamppost paint and the vagaries of subways." / Xx.com
