NYT Strands answers for game #833 on a blue background

The answers to today's Strands, game #833, are…

EARL
LADY
LORD
BARON
VISCOUNT
MARQUESS
DUCHESS
SPANGRAM: NOBILITY

My rating: Hard
My score: 2 hints

Even though I understood today’s theme I still struggled to find all of the la-de-da titles after exhausting the obvious ones of EARL, LADY and LORD and needed hints to get to the finish line.

NOBILITY has become a strange thing in the United Kingdom; the days when we revered them are long gone. They are less visible in society, but they still exist and enjoy opulent lifestyles on a different planet to most people and have the ability to look down their noses at everyone — no amount of money can buy you access to their club.

The only way to think of the subject of peers is as peculiar comedy characters, which is why I spent most of this game remembering the brilliant Grey Poupon TV adverts from the 1980s and '90s — it even has wine, don't you know.
