Courteous seems inadequate but I can't think of a better single word. Aren't there books of simonisms, or is that homomisms, or maybe three dinosaurous to look the word up?

This word always makes me think of the Highlight's magazine duo, Goofus and Gallant. 😺

I sat here thinking about that--their sameness or differences--and really, they could be synonyms. I like Jamie's addition of 'brave'.
