When trying to decide is Sheik was a first name, a last name or a title.... I found this entry on a website dictionary/thesaurus:
2. sheik - a man who is much concerned with his dress and appearance
dandy, fashion plate, fop, gallant, dude, beau, clotheshorse, swell
coxcomb, cockscomb - a conceited dandy who is overly impressed by his own accomplishments
macaroni - a British dandy in the 18th century who affected Continental mannerisms; "Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni"
adult male, man - an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman); "there were two women and six men on the bus"
This dictionary is just awful! What does macaroni have to do with Skeik? Also if you use "an adult person who is male" you should say as opposed to FEMALE, parallelisms people! (ooo alliteration.)
In conclusion... don't use the following link for your next research paper or work project: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sheik
