Hi, Angli!
I do not think '
Well fed, well bred' is still a commonly used expression. The phrase implies that if a person is well fed he/she probably comes from a family that is wealthy and/or has status in society. Today, being well fed does not necessarily mean that an individual has developed the social or intellectual skills that are associated with the '
Well fed, well bred' sentiment. I know many people who eat well but still have the breeding of a toad!
Cheers,
