What Does Maketh a Man:

Being able to wear his missus' 'little black dress' out to a dinner party and pull it off.

You need to knead it longer. Three times as long as you think. And then you need to roll it thinner.

What's with all this 'maketh' bollocks? Trying to bestow a false impression of grandeur and weight to the rather dubious thought that men can be reduced to a single quality?

Manners Makyth Man.

This, and only this is what is required, apparently. I used to go to a school that taught the rules of "Manners Maketh Man", there was about 12 of them, but I can only remember two. "Always hold the door open for a lady" and "Empty barrels make most noise". Does anyone know the rest?

Absolutely.
