Nyet-Setters
N. 'nyet-set-turs The flock of cash-flush New Russians who have rushed to explore the world's holiday playgrounds—Marbella, Cyprus, Biarritz, St. Tropez—since the mid-'90s. Also, (Ger.) Nyet-setting. Usage: Patricia was enjoying a frappé at a harborside café in Khania when a limo unloaded a pack of Versace-clad nyet-setters, who gathered in front of her table, arguing and smoking, and completely blocking her view.
