Act it. To act it is to behave in a misleadingly innocent way: He´s acting it if he says he didn´t know.
Adam. An Adam house, interior, piece of furniture, etc. is one designed by the architect and decorator Robert Adam (1728-92): a grand Adam mansion in Charlotte Street.
Adam successfully emulated the harmony and grace of classical and Italian Renaissance architecture in the many British country houses he and his brother James (1732-94) built.
His greatest Neo-Classical work is undoubtedly Charlotte Square (1791) in Edinburgh.
The exterior of Culzean Castle in Ayrshire is a good example of his work in the Gothic Revival style.
