Self-respecting

No self-respecting pirate would wear that.

Bich Ngoc loves Instagram food shots like any other self-respecting millennial, but not just for their photogenic allure: She gets on social media to check if certain cuisine is safe.

No self-respecting man would tolerate such an insult.
