Not sure if this helps but, "after a fashion" is a common saying in
British sort of English.
I think, it means after a pretty short amount of time. Fashion, in
this context, I believe, refers to "fads" (pop fashions) and umm
"hypes" short lived, very exciting things.. like the life of
fashions.. I think that's what it means. Check me if I am wrong any
true brits out there..
Now me:
Sorry, no. 'After a fashion' means 'in a way', 'in a manner of
speaking'.
Hadn't realised this wasn't an international phrase.
