Stan‧ley, Henry Morton /ˈstænli/
(1841–1904) a British explorer (=someone who travels to places that have not been visited before). In 1871 he was sent by a US newspaper to find David Livingstone in Africa, and is famous for saying ‘Dr Livingstone, I presume’ when he found him. People sometimes say this as a joke when they meet someone.
